Important Considerations
-
● Blood samples for serum lithium determinations should be drawn immediately prior to the next dose when lithium concentrations are relatively stable (i.e., 8 to 12 hours after previous dose). Total reliance must not be placed on serum concentrations alone. Accurate patient evaluation requires both clinical and laboratory analysis.
-
● Lithium Carbonate Extended Release Tablets USP must be swallowed whole and never chewed or crushed.
