Medication and Hot Weather
|
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is reminding people that high temperatures can affect medicines and how well they work. Hot weather changes how your body responds to medications, which could impact people managing long-term conditions – but a few simple steps can help avoid problems.
• Store medicines somewhere cool, dry and out of direct sunlight – especially if
you’re out and about
• Know the signs of heat-related illness – stay hydrated and listen to your body
• Take extra care in the sun if your medicine makes your skin more likely to burn
