Lithium trade name?

What “lithium” trade names are used for prescription medicines?

“Lithium” is a substance used in medicines for certain mental health conditions (commonly bipolar disorder) and, in some cases, other indications depending on the product and country. The exact trade name depends on the specific salt and formulation (such as lithium carbonate or lithium citrate).

Which brand names commonly contain lithium carbonate?

Many countries market lithium carbonate under multiple brand names. If you share your country (or where you saw the prescription), I can narrow it to the trade names used there.

Are lithium trade names different from “generic” lithium?

Yes. “Lithium” can refer to the active ingredient, while the trade name is the specific brand. The generic may list the salt form (for example, “lithium carbonate”) even if the brand name differs.

What’s the fastest way to identify the trade name you mean?

Look at the label and tell me either:
- the exact wording next to “lithium” (including the salt form), or
- the imprint/strength (mg) shown on the tablet/capsule, or
- your country/region.
