antibiotics + rash

[napolean22]

So after some internet research, I've discovered that UV Rays and antibiotics don't mesh well.

I was taking amoxicillin for strep-throat. Started taking it t 500mg 3x a day. Around day 3, I go to the tanning bed. I expected to get a little burnt, but not that severe of a sunburn. 3 days after the tanning bed (6th day of anitbiotic), I start developing a red rash (looks like hives). The following day, I woke up and the rash was worse. So I look on the internet and discover that being exposed to UVA rays while on antibiotics can cause a rash.

Sucks...fortunately it should disappear in 2-3days...

Moral of the story...don't expose yourself to the sun while on antiobiotics.

Yeah, not shit...apparently that's a well known side-effect/caution of taking antibiotics.

I am very prone to strep...I get catch it almost every year. So I've taking penicillin many times, and never heard of this side effect. I do one quick google on the internet and this side effect is plastered on almost ever hit.

Wish I had of know this earlier...looks like I'll be holding off on my tanning for a week or so.
