The Philadelphia Enquirer writes today about the potentially disastrous combination of summer heat and psychiatric (and other) medication. The article cautions those taking medications to stay cool and well-hydrated (with water: not Red Bull or beer).
“In May, the public health agency published a report stating that in 2010, 106 deaths in the city (Montreal)were likely caused by heat waves.”
