Liskonum is a medication primarily used in the treatment of bipolar disorder, a condition characterized by episodes of depression and mania. It belongs to a class of drugs known as mood stabilizers. The active ingredient in Liskonum is lithium carbonate, which helps to reduce the severity and frequency of mania and can help prevent the depressive episodes associated with bipolar disorder. Lithium is thought to work by stabilizing the mood and reducing extremes in behavior by restoring the balance of certain neurotransmitters in the brain. It may also be prescribed for other conditions as determined by a healthcare provider. Due to the potential for serious side effects and the necessity for regular blood level monitoring, the use of Liskonum requires careful management and adherence to prescribed dosages.
