Aspect of the pharmacokinetics of slow-release lithium carbonate.
The bio-availability of two forms of lithium carbonate, Lentolith and Camcolit, was investigated. Serum levels of lithium were measured over 24 hours after different oral dosages. Lentolith gave very adequate serum levels on single daily dosage schedules. Advantages for long-term treatment are discussed.
