Description

Neurolith SR 400mg Tablets contain Lithium Carbonate and are made by Adamjee Pharmaceuticals. Lithium evens out mood by acting on chemical messengers inside nerve cells. It reduces the highs of mania and helps stop manic and depressive episodes from coming back. The sustained-release tablet releases lithium slowly, giving steadier blood levels. You can order it online from Divine Medicines with home delivery across Lahore.
