Pseudotumor
3 Topics FoundI was diagnosed with pseudotumor cerebri and put on Diamox. I live up north and want to relax in the sun while we still have it, but the bottle says to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Why does it say that? ## Because many medications, such as Diamox, make you more sensitive to the effects of the sun, which means you could burn much sooner than you expect, or develop heat stroke much faster than your normally would. Learn more Diamox details here. Thus, sun exposure should be avoided. However, if you really want to spend time out in it and your doctor approves, then you should make sure to cover as much of your body as possible and use a high SPF sun protectant on any exposed skin. Are there any other questions I can help with?

Hi there, I'm on lymecylcine at the moment, with isotrex gel at night - someone has recommended accumax supplements to me - is it ok to take the two together? ## Hello, Elliej88! How are you? Is your doctor aware that you're taking Lymecycline while using the Isotrex? Those are actually contraindicated and using them both together could be very dangerous, it risks pseudotumor cerebri, as warned about by the FDA. Before adding anything else, I think you need to have this checked out to avoid putting yourself in danger. Have you been suffering any headaches or vision loss?
