(if past is prologue US litigiousness will not take long to board this train, this time perhaps deservedly)
Prenatal exposure to medications that inhibit #sterol #biosynthesis, including certain #antidepressants, #antipsychotics, #betablockers, and #statins, is associated with a significantly increased risk of #autism spectrum disorder in offspring, with risk rising in a dose-dependent manner…pregnancies with such exposure increased from 4.3% in 2014 to 16.8% in 2023.

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.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/15/well/live/heat-weather-medication-safety.html (excerpt in a reply)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."
