Good Memory. I believe it was under the old forum format that duralith was discussed.It was discontinued around April 2008. Slow release lithium is still mfg and sold around the world under a different name and slightly different formula and has not been approved for sale in Cda.
The problem in Cda is most Docs do not perscribe it, instead perscribing regular lithium carbonate, why I do not know. As a result, Cda being a very small country, the sales of slow release lithium are very small and the corresponding profits small. Duralith was sold until the patent ran out and Apotex started making the SR version.
However, someone may decide there is a buck to be made and perhaps it will come back to Cda. Take Care. paul m
