Heat, Health, and Medications: Pharmacologic Considerations of Medications and Heat

This event is part of the Climate and Health Actionable Research and Translation (CHART) Webinar Series. As summertime approaches, it is important to recognize how the human body naturally regulates heat, as well as the impact that medication use has on disrupting that regulation. This webinar will address drugs and mechanisms that increase risk of heat-related illnesses and dive into signs and symptoms of those illnesses with a focus on at-risk populations. The webinar will be presented from a pharmacological viewpoint and highlight ways that clinicians, researchers, and entities serving at-risk communities, can increase patient and community education with the goal of reducing risk of heat-related illness.
