What's New?
It's warming up outside. Do you know that certain medications and conditions can affect your body's response to heat?
With the summer months approaching and temperatures rising, it is important to recognize the warning signs of heat-related illness and how to prevent it. The elderly, the very young and individuals with medical problems including those with psychiatric disorders and addictions are especially susceptible.
Certain medical conditions, including heart disease, alcohol use, diabetes and respiratory disease and certain medications (see list below) also affect body temperature. See the list below for common medications that could impair the body's heat reponse and lead to heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
