    Main Results:

    • Drugs can alter serum potassium via transcellular shifts and renal excretion.
    • Drug actions on antidiuretic hormone affect sodium and water balance.
    • Pharmacological agents can disrupt calcium regulation through parathyroid hormone, bone, and kidney interactions.

    Conclusions:

    • Drug-induced electrolyte disturbances, particularly with potassium, sodium, and calcium, can be life-threatening.
    • Understanding the mechanisms of these drug effects is essential for rational clinical management.
    • Increased physician awareness of these pharmacological interactions improves patient outcomes.
