Intalith CR 450 Tablet

Product introduction
Intalith CR 450 Tablet is commonly prescribed for managing bipolar disorder and mania in adults. It may also be used for certain other behavioral conditions as advised by the doctor. This medicine helps in stabilizing mood by reducing the frequency and severity of manic episodes.

This tablet should ideally be taken with meals and around the same time every day to maintain steady levels of the medicine in the body. Skipping doses should be avoided, and it is important to complete the treatment course even if you start feeling better. If you happen to miss a dose, take it when you remember, but if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue as usual. Do not stop taking the medicine abruptly, as it may cause withdrawal symptoms or a sudden return of the condition.

Some common side effects include nausea, vomiting, tremors, slurred speech, unsteady movements, acne, hair loss, increased thirst, and memory problems. It can also lead to weight gain, and following a balanced diet along with regular exercise can help manage it. In certain cases, there may be an enlargement of the thyroid gland or changes in kidney function, so routine monitoring of thyroid and kidney health is recommended for those on long-term treatment.
