These medications can lead to dehydration, a particular concern during extreme heat. Nutritionist Keri Glassman highlights that the side effects may be exacerbated in hot weather, posing a health hazard to users. This matters because it underscores the need for people on these drugs to be more vigilant about their hydration, especially during heatwaves, to avoid severe health complications.
