Lithium Carbonate: Supplement Interactions
Find the available answers about lithium carbonate and supplements. Each guide explains its evidence and the forms it covers.
Supplement combinations
10 published guides. Coverage is limited to the combinations listed.
Oral Hypericum perforatum, commonly called St. John’s wort, with oral lithium carbonate. The label names the herb but does not establish a safe extract, constituent threshold or risk estimate for each preparation.
Read the interaction guide →Oral tripotassium citrate; the inspected preparation is its monohydrate extended-release prescription tablet. The concern is conditional on a clinically relevant alkalinizing exposure, not every trace food-additive use.
Read the interaction guide →Sodium chloride as dietary salt or an oral salt supplement during lithium carbonate treatment. Sodium-containing citrate/bicarbonate products and potassium-based salt substitutes have distinct compositions and are not interchangeable.
Read the interaction guide →Oral sodium citrate; the inspected alkalinizing product is a sodium citrate dihydrate/citric acid solution, not isolated anhydrous trisodium citrate. The concern is conditional on a clinically relevant alkalinizing exposure, not every trace food-additive use.
Read the interaction guide →Habitual oral caffeine from drinks or supplements with oral lithium carbonate. The direct case used sustained-action carbonate; an acute renal-marker study does not establish equal effects across formulations or caffeine doses.
Read the interaction guide →Oral ripe dry or powdered Plantago afra seed, within the P. afra/P. indica seed monograph. P. ovata husk, other plant parts and generic psyllium mixtures are not automatically equivalent.
Read the interaction guide →Oral Juniperus communis fruit extract, limited to preparation-specific berry evidence; extraction solvent, ratio and dose matter. Essential oil, other plant parts and other juniper species are not automatically equivalent.
Read the interaction guide →Equisetum arvense oral aerial-part extract, distinguished from E. hyemale, other horsetail species, combination diuretic products and uncharacterized teas.
Read the interaction guide →Juniperus communis is a species-level entry. The inspected regulatory evidence concerns its pseudo-fruit, commonly called berries, and defined oral preparations. Essential oil, other plant parts and other juniper species are not automatically equivalent.
Read the interaction guide →Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae (Gan cao) oral preparations. Inspected EMA evidence concerns glycyrrhizin-containing roots and stolons of G. glabra, G. inflata and G. uralensis; exact processing and composition must be verified. Deglycyrrhizinated licorice is not assumed equivalent.
