Overview Molith 450mg Tablet ER

Lithotab XR 450mg tablets effectively manage bipolar disorder and manic episodes in adults, sometimes extending to other behavioral conditions. This medication lessens both the frequency and severity of manic episodes. Lithotab XR 450mg should be ingested with food, consistently at the same time daily for optimal blood levels. Complete the prescribed course, even with symptom improvement; avoid missed doses, taking any forgotten dose promptly. Discontinuation requires gradual tapering under medical supervision to prevent adverse reactions. Potential side effects include motor difficulties (tremors, dysarthria, ataxia), gastrointestinal upset (nausea, vomiting), dermatological changes (acne, hair loss, rash), hematological alterations (leukocytosis), and cognitive effects (memory problems). Thyroid enlargement, increased thirst, and weight gain are also possible. A balanced diet and exercise can help mitigate weight gain.
