What you should know about taking medication during hot weather

The sun peeks through the clouds in Calgary in June 2022.Taking certain medications during heat waves can lead to a slightly higher risk of heat-related illness, doctors say — but it can be more dangerous to stop taking medication.

"It just means that if you have questions to make sure that you ask for help, so ask your physician or ask your pharmacist, and to take the common sense approaches that happen every summer in terms of heat waves." Medications in the second category have what Yarema calls an "indirect effect" during hot weather. This includes some antidepressants and anti-psychotics, but it's more likely sedatives like sleeping pills or anxiety medication.

Many of those side effects are more common during the first couple weeks taking a new medication as the body adjusts.
