4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION

to a twice daily regimen. When lithium
levels have stabilised, a once daily regimen may be preferred.
4.2.1 DOSAGE
Lithium carbonate has a narrow therapeutic window. The dose required
for treatment must be titrated and adjusted on
the basis of regular monitoring of the serum concentration of lithium
(See Section 4.4.1). Lithium therapy should not be
initiated unless adequate facilities for routine monitoring of plasma
concentrations are available.
On initiation of treatment, plasma therapy concentrations should be
measured weekly until stabilisation is achieved,
then weekly for one month and at monthly intervals thereafter.
Additional measurements should be made if signs of lithium toxicity
occur, on dosage alteration, development of
significant intercurrent disease, signs of manic depressions or
depressive relapse and if significant change in sodium or
fluid intake occurs. More frequent monitoring is required if patients
are receiving any drug treatment that affects renal
clearance of lithium e.g. diuretics and NSAID (See section 4.4 and
section 4.5). As bioavailability may vary between
formulations, should a change of preparations be made, blood levels
should be monitored weekly until r
