Lithobid alters the way that nerve cells respond to chemicals that are present in the brain. It is known that it is a very effective medicine and has been used for more than 50 years. Lithobid causes little interference with normal emotional reactions.
Lithobid is used to treat mania (overactive and excitable behaviour), certain types of depression, and a condition known as bipolar disorder (where extreme changes in mood are experienced). Lithobid decreases the intensity and frequency of mood swings.
