    Certain medications like antipsychotics, anticholinergics, SSRIs, MAOIs, lithium, beta blockers can increase the risk of heat-related illnesses by altering sweat production and temperature regulation, impairing thirst recognition, and causing weight gain. Conditions like respiratory illnesses and excessive alcohol or stimulant use can also inhibit the body's ability to lose heat through impaired oxygen exchange, dehydration, and increased metabolic demands. Staying cool and hydrated is important for patients taking these medications during hot weather.
