What is Lithmax?

Lithmax contains lithium carbonate, which is used to treat and prevent episodes of mania in people with bipolar disorder. Mania is a condition characterized by feelings of extreme excitement, energy, and agitation.

How does Lithmax work?

Lithium affects certain chemicals in the brain and nerve cells that are involved in mood regulation. It helps to stabilize mood and reduce the severity and frequency of manic episodes.

Lithmax should not be taken by people with:

• Significant brain damage
• Severe kidney or heart disease

Symptoms of lithium toxicity include diarrhea, vomiting, tremor, drowsiness, and muscle weakness. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience these symptoms.
