Ever wonder what's in that medication that you take? Like, how much sodium is in it relative to the maximum daily intake as documented by the FDA?
I've come across some documentation on one of my drugs under Wikipedia. I'm thinking it might be interesting to start a thread on how much sodium is in one pill or 1mg of a drug (we can multiply that number by the total mgs in a tablet).

C12H14N2O2 is the chemical breakdown of Primidone.
Obviously there's some sodium in this stuff. How much for example would be in a 100mg pill?
I wish I had a stronger background in chemistry to figure out this information.
I looked at 3 different food products and found at least 3 different figures for the % daily intake. How do they determine this?
