Can a single dose of duloxetine induce hyponatremia in a young male patient?

Journal Title: Ege Tıp Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 56, Issue 2

Abstract

We report a case of duloxetine-induced hyponatremia which developed rapidly with somatic symptoms in a middleaged male after a single dose of medication. A 28-year-old male patient presented with fatigue and dizziness. The patient’s presenting complaints completely resolved after duloxetine was ceased and normal saline treatment was given. When treating patients with duloxetine, close monitoring for hyponatremia is essential.
