East Texas (KTRE) -As we approach the hottest moon in Texas, it becomes more important to take care of ourselves in the heat.
Dr. David Davis, Dr. East Texas pharmacist, David Davis, checked the drug to be safe in heat and checked the sun.
As the weather gets hotter, it is important to monitor the drug you are taking and see how it interacts with heat.
Davis said that certain drugs could increase the risk of heat fatigue. Body drugs, heart drugs and blood pressure drugs are the main examples.
“In heat, you tend to be dehydrated anyway, so if you are using a fluid drug to relieve your body fluid, you can be careful.”
The thermal sensitivity caused by the drug is similar to thermal fatigue, and Davis says that this solution is similar in both ways.
Davis said, “Limit the amount of external time. In the morning or evening, do dinner in a cool time. Do your best to supply moisture.
Davis said he should not take medicine in hot places besides staying directly in the sun.
Putting it in a car or in a low ventilation space can be very bad for the drug.
Davis said, “If the drug is on a place where the drug is on or more than 77 degrees, the drug is damaged and there is a risk that it will not work properly.
He also encourages everyone to check the label of the drug and maintain moisture in the heat.
