    The claim is circulating that antidepressants can cause overheating and dehydration. This is a genuine public health message, but it's not so simple: diuretics, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, antipsychotics, and some antihistamines may also interact badly with hot weather.

    There's even doubt about antidepressants having this effect. A recent paper in eClinicalMedicine looked at all the studies they could find and concluded that there wasn't evidence of antidepressants causing overheating in hot weather - though some other medicines do.

    "Current evidence supports strong anticholinergics, non-selective beta-blockers, adrenaline, and anti-Parkinson’s agents impairing thermoregulation during heat stress ... physicians should interpret with caution conventional public health messaging related to the thermoregulatory effects of some drugs (e.g., antidepressants) during hot weather."

    Given my earlier work on the reporting of harms researchgate.net/profile/Tom-K I was informed of an upcoming special issue of Trials on assessing #harms in clinical trials, "The collection, analysis and reporting of adverse events in randomised controlled trials"

    These days I focus on @IrishMECFSAssociation but perhaps of interest to somebody. With all the exercise and other #LongCovid trials, it remains important
