dc.description.abstractHyponatraemia due to SIADH is a common and potentially lethal adverse effect of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors in elderly patients. The possibility of hyponatraemia due to SIADH needs to be borne in mind if an elderly patient experiences a significant and rapid deterioration in their clinical condition after commencing an SSRI, and appropriate physical investigations and treatment undertaken. Careful management in the prescription of SSRIs to elderly patients includes routine monitoring of electrolytes for early detection and reduction of morbidity.en
