People taking a drug for a chronic ailment can be especially vulnerable, suddenly becoming allergic to sunshine instead of tolerating it well, he said. Even aspirin used routinely to fight arthritis pain can aggra vate sunburn, Maickel said. There is no way to issue a gener al warning because the problem can crop up with so many drugs. Even the habitual sunbather suddenly may be stricken as the years of exposure mount up. “It’s like bee stings,” he said. “You can get 10 bee stings and you’re OK and the 11th one sets up a shock reaction so strong it may require hospitalization. " Maickel said the most danger ous time of day for sunbathing is noon to 4 p.m., when the ultra violet dosage is highest. He said to ask your pharma cist about the compatability of medicines with sun exposures. He said pharmacists are often a much better source of informa tion than physicians, because pharmacists routinely check out just such matters. The drugs to watch out for iti combination with sun exposure, he said, include: Anti-inflammatories, used for artluitis; antibiotics, espe cially sulfa drugs; oral hypog- lycetnics, such as Oritfase and Diabinase, used by diabetics; many drugs used for mental ail ments — including anti depressants and anti-psychotics; Also, anti-convulsants, used for controlling epilepsy, e daily phenytoin, sold mosto under the Dilantin brand mi some diuretics for high pressure; and some oral traceptives. He said severe exposure result in second-or third-de? burns, although most sunl are first-degree. Physicians generally it mend treating first-dej burns with cold water on compresses plus a bandage quently changed, but nota grease, nonprescription m cities or home remedies. Second-degree burns similar treatment, pluseleva of the burned limbs, should be left unbroken 1 hird-degree burns make affected area white or chai Clothes stuck to theburnsho be left alone and no ice, wait anything else applied The worst burns requires medical attention.
