Lithmax (active ingredient: lithium carbonate) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Bipolar Disorder: Lithmax is used to treat and manage bipolar disorder by stabilizing mood and reducing the frequency and severity of manic and depressive episodes.
  2. Depressive Episodes in Bipolar Disorder: It is also indicated for the treatment of depressive episodes associated with bipolar disorder, contributing to overall mood stabilization.

Lithmax belongs to a class of drugs known as mood stabilizers, which work by modulating neurotransmitter activity in the brain to help regulate mood and prevent extreme mood swings.

Lithium Carbonate ER comes in the form of 300 mg extended-release tablet to take once or twice daily with food or as directed by your healthcare provider.

If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
