Consumer:Using lithium together with sodium polystyrene sulfonate can decrease the effects of lithium. Contact your doctor if your condition worsens. You should consider separating the times of administration of sodium polystyrene sulfonate and lithium by several hours if possible. You may need a dose adjustment or special tests if your use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
Professional:ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: Coadministration with cation-exchange resins may delay and/or reduce the absorption of lithium. The resins are not totally selective for potassium and may bind to other cations such as lithium. This binding may also reduce the potassium exchange capability of the cation-exchange resins.
MANAGEMENT: Patients should consider separating the times of administration of the cation-exchange resin and lithium by several hours if possible.
