Episode Details

With nearly nine million people in England on antidepressants like sertraline—and over 25 million doses dispensed last year—health experts are sounding the alarm: these meds can make you more vulnerable to heat. Sertraline, along with citalopram and fluoxetine, increases risk of dehydration and heatstroke, so drink plenty, avoid prolonged sun exposure, and watch for warning signs like dizziness or faintness. Other drugs—including water pills and some blood pressure meds—can have similar effects. The key? Keep taking your meds as prescribed (unless advised otherwise), stay hydrated, and take simple precautions when temps rise.
