✔️ Overdose Effects of Lithosun SR Tablet
In case of lithium overdose:
- Discontinue lithium immediately.
- Serum lithium levels should be monitored every six hours.
- Avoid using diuretics.
- Osmotic diuresis (mannitol or urea infusion) or alkalinization (sodium lactate or bicarbonate infusion) should be initiated.
- If serum lithium exceeds 4.0 mmol/L or the patient's condition worsens, prompt dialysis (peritoneal or hemodialysis) should be performed until lithium is cleared from serum or dialysis fluid. Continue monitoring for at least one week to address any rebound in serum lithium levels.
✔️ Pharmacology
Lithium's mechanism of action in treating bipolar disorder remains unclear despite over 50 years of clinical use. It is thought to work by inhibiting enzymes such as glycogen synthase kinase 3 and inositol phosphatases, or by modulating glutamate receptors. Lithium carbonate also affects the intraneuronal metabolism of catecholamines and alters sodium transport in neurons and muscle cells.
