Lithium Carbonate 300 mg Capsule 100 Count (RX)

Lithium carbonate 300 mg is used to treat bipolar disorder, a mental disorder characterized by alternating periods of extreme mood swings, including episodes of mania (elevated mood, increased energy, impulsivity) and depression (low mood, loss of interest or pleasure in activities). It is also sometimes used to treat depression and certain other mental health conditions. Lithium helps to stabilize mood by changing the balance of certain chemicals in the brain. It is typically prescribed as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may also include psychotherapy and other medications.
