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.
Changes in your body's sodium levels directly affect your body's blood volume (how much water your blood contains). The most common form of sodium imbalance is a blood sodium level that is too high. Excessive blood sodium levels means that your body lacks enough water to cope with the amount of sodium it contains.
