Lithium carbonate and Diverticulitis - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Diverticulitis is reported as a side effect among people who take Lithium carbonate (lithium carbonate), especially for people who are female, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for 10+ years also take Norco, and have Narcolepsy.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Diverticulitis when taking Lithium carbonate. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 22,589 people who have side effects when taking Lithium carbonate from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
