title: [Drug interactions of lithium. Review of the literature].
abstract: The authors have reviewed the literature regarding interactions of lithium and other drugs. The hypothetical physiopathogenic mechanisms of these interactions are discussed even if in some cases the mechanisms are not understood. The interactions of diuretic and anti-inflammatory drugs with lithium will mainly affect renal function and ionic exchange across cell membranes. Other drugs become toxic when associated to lithium because of the addition of their adverse effects. The beneficial effects of some drugs associations are also discussed.
