Drug-induced electrolyte disorders occur when medications affect the balance of essential minerals, like sodium, potassium, calcium, or magnesium, in the body.
These minerals (electrolytes), help regulate vital functions such as heart rhythm, muscle contractions, and fluid balance. Certain drugs can cause levels of these electrolytes to become too high or too low, leading to health problems like muscle weakness, irregular heartbeat, confusion, or even life-threatening complications.
