its going to make your skin super sensitive. you might burn if you head to a tanning bed. generally speaking, if the bottle of meds have a warning, you need to heed it.

No. Cipro causes your skin to get an itchy rash when you are exposed to the sun. Sun beds multiply the chances for the rash. Take the med and when you are finished with it, then go tanning.

OH, no, no, no, no. You will get a terrible rash.
Please don’t do that until you have finished your Cipro.

beautifulbunny0286 and M is right on.
how about getting one of those spray tans. it’s the best alternative in your case.

No. Avoid it. And when you are done with the Cipro, continue to avoid the tanning bed. There is no good reason to be in one.
I’m a physician.

nope. no tanning beds until you are off the medication. you can go into the sun as you would normally (say walking to class, your car, etc.) but the sunlight kills the antibiotic and it makes your skin super sensitive. you would be basically taking it for no reason. its only a 7-14 day antibiotic. im sure your tan will be fine until you are done taking the medicine.

Stay away from the Tanning Beds. A little sun light won’t hurt but you do need to finish the Meds regardless. The most important things is to get rid of the “bug” that you have, the second is to not build a “super” bug, which is resistant to meds. The third is that tanning can and does lead to skin cancer. Pale is healthy but if you need color, try a spray on.
