LITHIUM CARBONATE
LITHIUM CARBONATE 300 mg
ORAL
PRESCRIPTION DRUG
Lithium carbonate extended-release tablets are indicated in the treatment of manic episodes of Bipolar Disorder. Bipolar Disorder, Manic (DSM-IV) is equivalent to Manic Depressive illness, Manic, in the older DSM-II terminology. Lithium carbonate extended-release tablets are also indicated as a maintenance treatment for individuals with a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder. Maintenance therapy reduces the frequency of manic episodes and diminishes the intensity of those episodes which may occur. Typical symptoms of mania include pressure of speech, motor hyperactivity, reduced need for sleep, flight of ideas, grandiosity, elation, poor judgment, aggressiveness, and possibly hostility. When given to a patient experiencing a manic episode, lithium may produce a normalization of symptomatology within 1 to 3 weeks.

Abbreviated New Drug Application
LITHIUM CARBONATE- LITHIUM CARBONATE TABLET, FILM COATED, EXTENDED RELEASE A-S MEDICATION SOLUTIONS ---------- LITHIUM CARBONATE EXTENDED-RELEASE TABLETS RX ONLY WARNING Lithium toxicity is closely related to serum lithium levels, and can occur at doses close to therapeutic levels. Facilities for prompt and accurate serum lithium determinations should be available before initiating therapy (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). DESCRIPTION Lithium Carbonate Extended-Release Tablets, USP contain lithium carbonate, USP a white crystalline powder with molecular formula Li CO and molecular weight 73.89. Lithium is an element of the alkali-metal group with atomic number 3, atomic weight 6.94, and an emission line at 671 nm on the flame photometer. Each light pink to pink colored circular, biconvex, coated, extended-release tablet contains 300 mg of lithium carbonate, USP. This slowly dissolving film-coated tablet is designed to give lower serum lithium peak concentrations than obtained with conventional oral lithium dosage forms. Inactive ingredients consist of sodium chloride, povidone, sorbitol, sodium starch glycolate, sodium lauryl sulfate, calcium stearate, hypromellose, titanium dioxide, polyethylene glycol and iron oxide red. Product meets USP Dissolution Test 1. ACTIONS Preclinical studies have shown that lithium alters sodium transport in nerve and muscle cells and effects a shift toward intraneuronal metabolism of catecholamines, but the specific biochemical mechanism of lithium action in mania is unknown.
