This medication can be taken alone or combined with other treatments. Your doctor will set the appropriate dosage and schedule based on your specific condition.

However, if you notice any rash or skin redness, contact your doctor immediately. Long-term use of this medicine may lead to decreased bone density, increasing the risk of fractures.

Regular use is essential for effectiveness, and it is important not to discontinue the medication without medical advice. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle including good nutrition and exercise can help alleviate symptoms of bipolar disorder.

How It Works:

This action helps manage symptoms and improves overall well-being.
