Summary
This study looked at whether reviewing and changing the medications of elderly people with mild hyponatremia (low sodium) could help raise their sodium levels and reduce falls. 18 retirement home residents took part, with half getting a medication review by a pharmacologist and the other half continuing their usual treatment. The goal was to see if adjusting drugs could safely improve sodium levels and balance over three months.
