Medications That Worsen Heat Risk | Leeds News
Description
With scorching temps on the rise, pharmacists warn about ten key medications that can blunt your body’s natural heat warnings—making dehydration and overheating sneakier and more dangerous. Drugs like antipsychotics, beta-blockers, lithium, and water pills can interfere with sweating, heart rate, and fluid balance. High-risk groups include seniors, those with heart/kidney issues, or anyone juggling multiple meds. The big takeaway? Don’t ditch your meds without doctor approval. Stay ahead of heat illness by hydrating, seeking shade, avoiding midday sun, wearing light clothes, and cutting back on alcohol. Awareness is your best defense.
