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

Summary:

Psoriasis 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 2 - 5 years also take Synthroid, and have Psoriatic arthropathy.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Psoriasis 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.
