Details Below:
Onset of dehydration may be precipitated by decreased fluid intake and by
loop diuretics. Risk of dehydration increases with environmental factors thatsupport fluid and electrolyte loss, such as heat exposure caused by hot temper-
atures and inadequate ventilation at home. Amitriptyline may cause dry mouth
and sweating but these effects are not related to sufficient fluid loss to cause
dehydration.
