<\/a>Indianapolis Tanning Packages 317-257-8262<\/p><\/div>Medicine is a predominant part of human sustainability and health. Without medication, we are vulnerable to disease, pain, suffering, and more. But medicine can come with possible side effects, so it is important to take your prescription medications seriously in order to maintain your health, as well as, protect yourself from potential dangers. Be sure to ask your doctor about activities, foods, and other factors that may influence your meds to cause any unpleasant or dangerous side effects.<\/p>\n
One such activity that can cause you to have adverse effects while on prescription medication is tanning. Tanning is a prevalent part of today\u2019s society, and provides several mental and physical benefits. But tanning while taking certain prescription drugs can be unsafe, and can potentially cause frustrating health issues. Continue reading to learn some helpful information about tanning and prescription medications.<\/p>\n
Photosensitivity<\/h1>\n
One of the most common side effects of tanning on prescription drugs is photosensitivity, or a heightened sensitivity to UVA and UVB rays. Both the sun and tanning beds provide these types of UV-light. Photosensitivity is manifested in one of two ways, either phototoxic reactions or photo-allergic reactions. Evidence of a phototoxic reaction will generally occur right away, or within 24 hours after tanning. It will feel and appear much like a sunburn, and eventually diminish once the medication is no longer being used.<\/p>\n

When taking a prescription medication, your body recognizes the medicine and uses it appositely. But some medications will change structure when exposed to UVA or UVB light, causing your body to treat it as an \u201cintruder\u201d since it cannot recognize it as it did before. As a result, your skin will begin to develop eczema-like patches and blistering that can last beyond the discontinuation of the medicine. A photo-allergic reaction can show up anywhere from
\n1 to 3 days after UV-light exposure. <\/p>\n
The best defense against suffering from phototoxic and photo-allergic reactions is to wait until your medication is complete before tanning. But if you are on a medication that you require for long-term purposes, consider using sunless tanning products to achieve a safe, bronze glow.<\/p>\n
