Description

This code list includes all oral lithium products available in the UK, used for the treatment and prevention of mental illness.

Methodology

All AMPs and VMPs from the NHS dm+d have been mapped using the BNF code 0402030 that include lithium. Other anti-manic drugs from this chapter have been excluded. This list includes all generic and branded lithium products used in the treatment and prevention of mental illness.

Codelists are developed by a broad community of users for individual study purposes, which may or may not meet the needs of other studies. They should not be thought of as universal definitions of a particular condition.

We don't offer any guarantees about what they do or don't identify. Users should carefully check that any codelist meets their needs, and seek clinical input where appropriate.

* dm+d codelists can be downloaded with codes mapped to changed VMPs included - this is the default for an OpenSAFELY project. See the documentation on keeping codelists up to date for more details.
