H302 | P301+P312 P264 P270 P330 P501 |
Based on the rat LD50 value of 613 mg/kg (RTECS (2005), original literature: Environmental Health Perspectives. No.1- 1972-106 (Suppl 2), 497, (1998)), the substance was classified as Category 4. [For health hazards, refer also to other lithium compounds.] |

7 | Reproductive toxicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data were available. As information on other lithium compounds, there are numerous reports about Ebstein's anomalies (congenital cardiovascular malformations) in neonates born from mothers who ingested the psychotropic drug containing lithium carbonate as an active ingredient during pregnancy (PIM 309F (2000), Birth Defects, 3rd (2000), HSDB (2007)), in addition, it is well known that lithium can pass through the placenta (KemI-Riskline NR 2002:16). In the precautions of medicines package insert, lithium is contraindicated in the pregnant or possibly pregnant women (Handbook of Japanese pharmaceutical drugs (2010)). In addition, it is also documented in an insert as a direction for use that lithium is excreted into the mother's milk with a similar concentration in the serum (PIM 309F (2000)) so that suckling should be discontinued when administering to the breastfeeding woman is unavoidably executed (Handbook of Japanese pharmaceutical drugs (2010)). | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data were available. As information on other lithium compounds, the therapeutic use of lithium carbonate as an active ingredient of psychotropic drugs might produce unusual toxic response depending on the blood lithium concentrations (KemI-Riskline NR 2002:16, Handbook of Japanese pharmaceutical drugs (2010)). According to a medical package insert, it was recommended to monitor the blood lithium concentration as a precaution of usage (Handbook of Japanese pharmaceutical drugs (2010)). Furthermore, it was reported that in patients receiving lithium therapy, severe neurotoxicity might occur which included impaired consciousness, delirium, ataxia, generalized fasciculation and extrapyramidal symptoms when the plasma lithium level would exceed over 2.5 mM, and that the toxicity might occur for a few days from a few hours (KemI-Riskline NR 2002:16). | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | No data were available. As information on the other lithium compounds, it was reported that the therapeutic use of lithium carbonate as an active ingredient of psychotropic drug may occur side effects such as tremor, lethargy, and confusion (KemI-Riskline NR 2002:16, Handbook of Japanese pharmaceutical drugs (2010)). The occurrence of toxicity is related to the blood lithium concentration, and those included neurological toxicity ranging from hand tremor, muscle weakness to coma (KemI-Riskline NR 2002:16). In a follow up study about side effects in patients treated with lithium preparation, treatment-related side effects were reported to include tremor, subjective memory loss and loss of creativity (IUCLID (2000)). While as side effects other than nervous system, cases with polyuria, polydipsia, or nephrogenic diabetes insipidus were reported (KemI-Riskline NR 2002:16, Handbook of Japanese pharmaceutical drugs (2010)), and a possible occurrence of chronic renal failure was also described (KemI-Riskline NR 2002:16). | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
