29 Ιουλ 2024 · Many common medications affect thermoregulation, the process by which your body maintains a healthy temperature. Some of these medications, including antihistamines and diuretics, may make it difficult to stay cool on extremely hot days.
1 Μαΐ 2024 · A 2020 PLOS ONE study found that various commonly prescribed drugs interfere with the body’s ability to perceive and protect itself from heat, increasing the risk of hospitalization.
The most commonly used drugs that affect thermoregulation include antipsychotic drugs, serotonergic drugs (especially when taken in combination), sympathomimetic drugs, anaesthetics and drugs with anticholinergic properties .
Commonly used medicines that may significantly increase the risk include diuretics, especially when combined with an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), anticholinergics and psychotropics.
The effect of drugs on core body temperature may be mediated by acting on any component of the thermoregulatory system. These components include heat production, heat conservation, and thermosensing-related pathways within the nervous system that coordinate thermoregulation.
13 Αυγ 2024 · Cardiovascular medicines, antipsychotics and other drugs have been linked to an increased risk of hospitalization during heat waves. But researchers don’t have a solid understanding of which ...
14 Νοε 2014 · 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA, Ecstasy) is a prototypical sympathomimetic amine agent and a worldwide major drug of abuse in large part because of its euphoric and stimulant properties. 64 MDMA increases body heat production via multiple mechanisms of thermoregulation.
