Brand name of lithium carbonate?

What’s the brand name for lithium carbonate?

Lithium carbonate is sold under various brand names depending on the country and manufacturer. In the United States, a common brand name is Eskalith (lithium carbonate) and Eskalith CR (extended-release) [1].

Does it have more than one brand name?

Yes. Different manufacturers and formulations (immediate-release vs extended-release) can use different brand names. Checking your local pharmacy label or the drug’s “lithium carbonate” strength and formulation is the most reliable way to confirm the exact brand.

How can I confirm the brand for my exact prescription?

Look for the active ingredient line on the medication bottle (it should say “lithium carbonate”) and match it with the listed brand and whether it’s “CR” (extended-release) or not.
