Tanning Booth
2 Topics FoundI have been on Multaq 2x daily for just over 2 years and was wondering if anyone has had an adverse effect to sun tanning naturally or in the booths? I have not tried the booths while on this med and was contemplating using one before we left on a vacation- anyone have issues? If so, what where the side effects? Thanks ## Many medications can make you much more sensitive than usual to the effects of the sun and heat, that also includes tanning beds. You may burn much easier than usual and you may develop heat stroke or become dehydrated much faster than usual. Learn more Multaq details here. The final decision on doing so is up to you, but if you are going to, then you need to be very careful. Is there anything else I can help with?
