- Drugs Causing Lowering of Sodium Level or Hyponatremia. Drugs are one of the causes implicated in the development of lowering of sodium level or hyponatremia. Diuretics: Thiazides, bumetanide, indapamide, ethacrynic acid, furosemide. Diuretics affect the balance between sodium and water and are among the most common drugs implicated in the development of hyponatremia. Antidepressants: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants (amitriptyline, protriptyline, desipramine), monoamine oxidase inhibitors, venlafaxine.

Understanding Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medications and High Blood Pressure Check the sodium content. Some OTCs are high in sodium, which can also raise blood pressure. Note the amount of sodium in the medication. People with high blood pressure should consume less than 1,500 mg of sodium per day from all sources; one dose of some OTCs can contain more than a whole day's allowance.

furosemide The dose of other blood pressure medications should be reduced by half when furosemide is added. DRUG INTERACTIONS: Administration of furosemide with aminoglycoside antibiotics (for example, gentamicin) or ethacrynic acid (Edecrin, another diuretic) may cause hearing damage. Furosemide competes with aspirin for elimination in the urine by the kidneys.

- In some people, sodium increases blood pressure because it holds excess fluid in the body, placing an added burden on the heart. If your blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg or above, your doctor may recommend a low-salt diet or advise you to avoid salt altogether.

Salt and Fluid Restriction Is Effective in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure Salt and fluid restrictions interfere with the patients' eating habits and quality of life (QoL), which in turn may impact negatively on adherence. Patients also relate their thirst to the loss of body water caused by diuretics (even if tolvaptan is the only drug reported to increase thirst).alt and fluid restrictions interfere with the patients' eating habits and quality of life (QoL), which in turn may impact negatively on adherence.

Does Sodium Affect Potassium? For example, sodium draws fluid out of the cells, increasing blood pressure, while potassium draws fluid into the cells, decreasing blood pressure. Additionally, sodium intake can affect potassium excretion from the body, just as potassium intake can affect sodium excretion.

Drugs Causing Lowering of Sodium Level or Hyponatremia Antidepressant and antipsychotic drugs cause hyponatremia through the development of SIADH. Antiepileptic drugs: Carbamezepine, oxcarbazepine, sodium valproate, lamotrigine. Carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine and sodium valproate cause an increase in production of ADH, whereas carbamazepine and lamotrigine cause potentiation of ADH effect. Oxcarbazepine has been found to cause hyponatremia more commonly as compared to carbamazepine.

How does sodium in one's diet affect blood pressure? As blood sodium concentration increases, osmosis causes an increase in blood volume, which cause a greater degree of atrial and vessel stretching, leading to a secretion of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) which tries to regulate blood pressure.

Drugs Causing Low Sodium Levels / Hyponatremia Sodium enters the body through food and fluid intake. The common salt or table salt contains sodium chloride and it is used not only for cooking but also in preservatives. The same sodium chloride also is the reason for the salinity of our oceans. Excess sodium is excreted by the kidneys via the urine. Sodium levels in the plasma are normally maintained at a level of between 135 to 145 mmol/L. The condition in which plasma level of sodium falls to below 135 mmol/L is called hyponatremia. Hyponatremia causes movement of excess water in the cells, causing them to swell. The cells of the brain in particular are unable to cope up with this swelling since they are confined within the bones of the skull.

Hyponatremia (Low Sodium) 1 Hyponatremia may be a side effect of medications, especially diuretics or water pills used to help control blood pressure. 2  This class of drugs can cause excessive loss of sodium in the urine. 3  Hormonal diseases such as Addison's disease or adrenal insufficiency and hypothyroidism may be associated with low sodium levels.

- A normal sodium level is between 135 and 145 milliequivalents per liter (mEq/L) of sodium. Hyponatremia occurs when the sodium in your blood falls below 135 mEq/L. Many possible conditions and lifestyle factors can lead to hyponatremia, including: 1  Certain medications. 2  Some medications, such as some water pills (diuretics), antidepressants and pain medications, can cause you to urinate or perspire more than normal. 3  Heart, kidney and liver problems.
