Can Lithium Carbonate And Hydrochlorothiazide Be Taken Together?
I am currently taking 1500 mg of lithium carbonate per day and my new doctor prescribed this drug, hydrochlorothiazide, 12.5 mg for high blood pressure and it says in the prescription synopsis, that lithium can cause a drug interaction. What is the interaction or risk?
