Can you use the tanning bed while using methylprednisolone?

No, you cannot use the tanning bed while using methylprednisolone. Tanning beds emit high doses of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can damage the skin, increase the risk of skin cancer and other skin problems.

Methylprednisolone is a corticosteroid drug used to treat various inflammatory conditions, such as allergies, asthma, and arthritis. It can also suppress the immune system, making the body more susceptible to infection.

Therefore, it is important to avoid using tanning beds while on methylprednisolone or other corticosteroids.
