Hot weather can be dangerous for anyone, but it can be especially important for people taking certain medicines every day. When temperatures rise, the body has to work harder to cool itself, and some common prescriptions can make that process less predictable.
That is why warnings around sertraline, fluoxetine and amitriptyline matter during a heatwave. These medicines should not be stopped suddenly, but people taking them may need to be more alert to dehydration, overheating, sweating changes, dizziness, and heat exhaustion. Official medicine safety advice also says many medicines should be kept away from hot cars, direct sunlight and overheated rooms.
