Is it safe to tan in a tanning bed while on birth control? will it cause it to not be as effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tanning okay with BC: Tanning does not have any effect on birth control pills, implanted birth control(implanon) or IUD's. Use sun block whenever you tan and don't spend to much time on tanning beds. Good luck :)
