Best Answer

Certain antibiotics will increase your likelihood of getting burnt. That is, they increase your sensitivity to sunlight and tanning beds. Antibiotics such as tetracycline exhibit this effect, as well as other medications such as tretinoin (Retin-A) and other topical medications. Any questions you may have about medications you are taking can be readily addressed by your local pharmacist, even one who might not have filled your medications in the first place. When in doubt, ask.
