11.2 Additional Information
To the best of our knowledge, the chemical, physical, and toxicological properties have not been thoroughly investigated., Large doses of lithium ion have caused dizziness and prostration, and can cause kidney damage if sodium intake is limited.
Dehydration, weight loss, dermatological effects, and thyroid disturbances have been reported. Central nervous system effects that include slurred speech, blurred vision, sensory loss, ataxia, and convulsions may occur. Diarrhea, vomiting, and neuromuscular effects such as tremor, clonus, and hyperactive reflexes may occur as a result of repeated exposure to lithium ion., Cyanosis and t-wave inversion have occurred in the breast-fed infants of women receiving lithium carbonate ther- apy., prolonged or repeated exposure can cause:, Vomiting, Diarrhoea, Drowsi- ness, Weakness, Incoordination.
