In Ecuador, this controversy is not exempt from the use of lithium to treat bipolar disorder, suicidal events and as an adjuvant in cases of treatment-resistant depression, despite being a basic drug with proven efficacy in these pathologies. Adequate management and monitoring would avoid its substitution by drugs of greater cost, especially for the National Public Health System, which assists an important segment of the population with low economic resources. |
