Methylprednisolone and Tanning Beds: A Risky Combination
No. Do not use tanning beds while taking methylprednisolone.
- Tanning beds emit high-dose UV radiation → skin damage, increased skin cancer risk, other skin problems.
- Methylprednisolone (corticosteroid) treats inflammation (allergies, asthma, arthritis) and suppresses immune system → increased infection susceptibility.
Combining these increases risk of severe skin reactions, infections, burns, and skin cancer. Avoid tanning beds during corticosteroid therapy.
