[Use of long-acting lithium carbonate--micalite--in the treatment of affective psychoses].
Micalite (microcapsulated lithium carbonate with a retarded action) was used for the treatment of manic states and the prevention of attacks of manic-depressive psychosis in 40 patients. The preparation was administered once daily. This provided the necessary concentration of lithium in the blood on a stable level. According to its therapeutical effectiveness and the frequency of side-effects micalite does not differ from other lithium preparations with a simgle daily administration of micalite there are much less distubrances in the treament regime.
