Drug-induced hypokalemia: an analytical study based on real-world drug monitoring data
By mining the OpenFDA database, we have identified all suspected drugs that cause hypokalemia and conducted a comprehensive evaluation. The instructions for most of the suspected drugs do not focus on hypokalemia. When the treatment regimen includes other drugs that can directly/indirectly cause a decrease in blood potassium, we recommend actively monitoring blood potassium when using suspected drugs.
