Health Professionals Warn Common Medications Affect How Body Handles Heat

Health professionals warn that many common prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs could affect how the body handles high temperatures.

Medications can affect your body's ability to reduce heat through sweating, which can lead to heat stroke or extreme symptoms.

Some drugs include heart and blood pressure medications, antihistamines such as allergy medicines, or stimulants like the medications used to treat ADHD.
