We present the case of a 55‐year‐old male patient who developed hyperkalemia after using Cotrimoxazole (TMP‐SMX). There was a marked increase in potassium levels from 3.3 mEq/L on Day 5 when cotrimoxazole was started to 6.2 mEq/L on Day 11 when the drug was withheld.
We present the case of a 55-year old male patient who developed
hyperkalemia after using Cotrimoxazole(TMP-SMX).He developed an elevated
level of potassium from day-4 which kept on increasing until the drug
was withheld on day-8.There was a marked increase in levels from
3.0(baseline) to 6.2 before the drug was withheld.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
