## Resource

UK Health Security Agency warns that rising heat is jeopardizing medication effectiveness — from insulin and asthma inhalers to EpiPens and hormone patches. Most drugs are stable up to 25°C, but car interiors, windowsills, and even pockets can exceed that, rendering critical treatments useless. Some meds also increase sun sensitivity or cause dehydration, compounding heat risks. Diuretics already dehydrate, and glucose monitors can give false readings in heat. Keep meds cool, watch for heatstroke signs, and consult your pharmacist if unsure. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
