Before the onset of warmer weather, ask your doctor, pharmacist or nurse if your medications increase your sensitivity to heat.
If you are taking any of the medications listed below, you are at higher risk for heat-related illnesses, especially if you are exercising a lot or performing heavy work and are not drinking enough water.
If you are on two or more medications, your risk could be increased. You should not modify how you take your medication unless you have first consulted with your doctor.
Please note that these lists may not be complete.
