Oral only. No parenteral lithium formulation exists for clinical use. (1)

Oral peak plasma 1-2 hours (immediate-release); 4-6 hours (extended-release). Therapeutic antimanic effect typically evident within 5-14 days of achieving target serum levels; for acute mania, a neuroleptic or benzodiazepine is usually co-administered while lithium titration proceeds. (1)

Lithium's mood-stabilizing benefit is prophylactic and requires continuous maintenance dosing; it is not a PRN or acute-episode-only medicine. Discontinuation is associated with high relapse rates and a potentially rebound worsening of episode frequency. (1)

18-36 hours at steady state; longer in elderly patients (24-60 hours) and those with renal impairment. Half-life is entirely a function of glomerular filtration rate, as lithium is exclusively renally eliminated with no hepatic metabolism.'"`UNIQ--ref-0000004C-QINU`"' (1)
