Prescription Heartburn Medication .. just wondering, I am so pale haven't been in so long so can anyone in the group help me please?

A.There are a lot of medications that cause people to become photosensitive. My sister was on a medication with that side effect - used a tanning bed - and got second degree burns. Your local pharmacist has a master list of drugs and their side effects - call and ask if your medication is among those that warn you to stay away from exposure to the sun. I don't know of any photosensitive reactions that are associated with GERD medications. If in doubt, contact your pharmacist and ask them; that's one reason you're paying them, after all! If harmful like that there's usually a warning sticker on the bottle. If your that concerned talk to your pharmacist the phone number also on the bottle.
