Camcolit (Lithium Carbonate): Drug Information, Side Effects and Precautions

More studies need to be done on the effects of Camcolit and how it works. However, it is at least known that Camcolit (Lithium Carbonate) works by modifying the production and turnover of neurotransmitters. Some examples of neurotransmitters include both serotonin and dopamine.

Lithium Carbonate is usually given to bipolar patients, to treat both the depressive and manic episodes that exist in someone who has this condition. Lithium also is used to treat recurring depression in people that do not respond to other antidepressants.

Camcolit is not available everywhere in the world. You will need to contact a mental health specialist to see if you are able to use it.
