Steady state was assumed for serum lithium concentrations measured after seven days of compliance at the same dosage. To reduce intrapatient variability, up to three serum lithium concentrations ...

Monitor serum lithium levels frequently (toxic and therapeutic levels are close); draw blood for serum tests 12hrs after previous dose. Monitor serum lithium, electrolytes, and renal function ...
