Episode Details

UK heatwaves are back, and your meds might not survive the scorching temps. Inhalers, insulin, EpiPens — even tablets and patches — can lose potency in heat above 25°C. Heat breaks down active ingredients, sometimes invisibly, risking missed doses or reduced effectiveness. Watch for color, smell, or texture changes — but know damage can be silent. If your meds feel off in the heat, consult your pharmacist or doctor. Certain drugs like insulin and blood pressure meds amplify heat sensitivity and mask dehydration. Asthma and diabetes patients? Stay vigilant — carry inhalers, check glucose more often, and keep meds cool, out of sun and hot cars. Your body’s signals matter — listen up.
