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.
Blood sodium levels below 136 mmol/L may mean you have hyponatremia or low blood sodium and too much water in your body. Blood sodium levels greater than 145 mmol/L may mean you have hypernatremia, a condition in which blood sodium levels are too high for the amount of water in your body.
