| Description |
Lithium has been used to treat manic episodes since the 19th century[A176642]. Though it is widely used, its mechanism of action is still unknown[FDA Label][A14585,A176642,A176651,L5843]. Lithium carbonate has a narrow therapeutic range and so careful monitoring is required to avoid adverse effects[FDA Label]. |
