Lithium is a mood-stabilizing agent indicated as monotherapy for the treatment of bipolar I disorder: Lithium is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any inactive ingredient in the lithium carbonate tablet or capsule or lithium citrate products [see Adverse Reactions (6)]. Risk Summary: Lithium may cause harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Early voluntary reports to international birth registries suggested an increase in cardiovascular malformations, especially for Ebstein’s anomaly, with first trimester use of lithium. Subsequent case-control and cohort studies indicate that the increased risk for cardiac malformations is likely to be small; however, the data are insufficient to establish a drug-associated risk. There are concerns for maternal and/or neonatal lithium toxicity during late pregnancy and the postpartum period [see Clinical Considerations] . Published animal developmental and toxicity studies in mice and rats report an increased incidence of fetal mortality, decreas
