Suggest Treatment For Bipolar Disease While On Lithium

My daughter is bipolar and is taking lithium to control it , and a friend of mine got a heart radiation treatment. I want to know if my friend can affect my daughter when they are close each other, for example, if they are traveling in the same car. I would appreciate if you answer my question

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for this.
Your friend who had radiation won't harm your daughter if they are in close contact.
So no need to alter lithium dose or medicine for this reason.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
