With the recent high temperatures in Taiwan, doctors and pharmacists warn that common cold and allergy medications can affect sweating and body temperature regulation, increasing the risk of heatstroke, especially for chronic disease patients. Severe cases of heatstroke can lead to organ failure and mortality, with a death rate possibly exceeding 30%. People with chronic illnesses, such as hypertension, diabetes, and heart diseases, face a higher risk due to impaired heat dissipation. It is crucial to be cautious when taking medications during extreme heat to avoid serious health consequences.
