antibiotic question w/ tanning??//

okay so im a another antibiotic that clearly states on the the side of the bottle to avoid sunlight and artificial sunlight while taking this antibiotic...a friend of mine told me its b/c it will cause me to become blotchy?

has anyone heard of that?


and if so...
i've been tanning for months, do you think that it will really affect the tan?

thanks :)

Usually it means that you are more susceptible to a sunburn if you are exposed or over exposed to light, even if you normally tan. I know this is the case for many skin medications I've been on.

I severely burned one time when I was a teen on antibiotics. i found out after the fact that I wasn't supposed to be in the sun. Be careful!
