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

Summary:

Electrolyte imbalance is reported as a side effect among people who take Lithium carbonate (lithium carbonate), especially for people who are male, 60+ old, have been taking the drug for < 1 month also take Clozaril, and have Agranulocytosis.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Electrolyte imbalance 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.
