Sample Anti-manic Drugs MCQs with answers
Sample MCQ #1
For plasma level monitoring, when is lithium estimation done?
AImmediately after the dose
B8 hours after last dose
C12 hours after last dose
D24 hours after last dose
Show Answer & Explanation ▾
✓ Correct Answer: C. 12 hours after last dose
Serum-Level Monitoring and Dose Because of the low therapeutic index for Li+, regular determination Serum concentration is crucial. Concentrations considered to be effective and acceptably safe are between 0.6 and 1.5 mEq/L. The range of 1.0-1.5 mEq/L is favored for treatment of acutely manic patients. Somewhat lower values (0.6-1.0 mEq/L) are considered adequate and are safer for long-term prophylaxis. Serum concentrations of Li+ have been found to follow a clear dose-effect relationship between 0.4 and 1.0 mEq/L, but with a corresponding dose-dependent rise in polyuria and tremor as indices of adverse effects. By convention, the serum Li+ concentration is measured from samples obtained 10-12 h after the last oral dose of the day.
