Uses of Neurolith Sr Tablet 100s

Neurolith Sr Tablet 100s is used to treat and prevent episodes of mania and depression in bipolar disorder. It is also sometimes added to an antidepressant when depression keeps coming back or has not responded well to treatment. Taken long term, it can reduce the number and severity of mood episodes and lower the risk of suicide. Treatment is always started and monitored by a specialist.

How Neurolith Sr Tablet 100s works

Lithium is a natural mineral salt. It is thought to steady mood by changing the way certain nerve cells in the brain signal to each other, smoothing out the extreme highs and lows of bipolar disorder. Its full preventive effect develops over weeks to months.

Possible side effects

Some side effects of Neurolith Sr Tablet 100s are common, particularly early in treatment, and may include:

• Fine hand tremor
• Increased thirst and passing more urine
• Nausea or loose stools
• Weight gain
• Metallic taste

Seek urgent medical help if you develop vomiting, diarrhoea, severe shaking, unsteadiness, slurred speech, confusion or extreme drowsiness, as these can be signs of lithium toxicity.

Precautions and warnings

• Regular blood tests are essential to check your lithium level, as well as kidney and thyroid function.
• Keep your fluid and salt intake steady, and drink more in hot weather, during fever, or if you have vomiting or diarrhoea.
• Painkillers such as ibuprofen and diclofenac, water tablets, and some blood pressure medicines can raise lithium levels, so check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting any new medicine.
• Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, as treatment needs careful planning.
• Do not stop Neurolith Sr Tablet 100s suddenly unless your doctor advises it, as this can trigger a relapse.
