Potassium iodide and Hyponatremia - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Hyponatremia is reported as a side effect among people who take Potassium iodide (potassium iodide), especially for people who are female, 60+ old, also take Pantoprazole Sodium, and have High blood pressure.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes which people have Hyponatremia when taking Potassium iodide. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 1,847 people who have side effects when taking Potassium iodide from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
