Possible Interaction: Potassium and Trimethoprim, Sulfamethoxazole Drug Combination

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

The mean potassium concentration in the treatment group increased after trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole therapy was initiated, and a statistically significant difference in the mean potassium concentrations in the treatment group and the control group was noted on days 4 and 5 of therapy (Figure 1).
