Kindly be specific

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thanks for posting your query at healthcaremagic

I am Dr. Kakkar. I have gone through your query.

I would be able to guide you better if you can please be a little more specific about your query.

Regarding whether you can take plavix while using tanning beds, I would say that it can cause photodistributed lichenoid reactions in some, but not everyone would have them.

Regards
