I am taking these two antibiotics. The only warning on them is one about taking iron or antacids (whats that about anyway) and taking with food.

It does not say anything about sun sensitivity.

Would it be safe to tan a little.

I dont normally tan much but I am thinking it just would feel so good.

I can't advise you on Ceftin, but with Omnicef it's safe to be in the sun.

My wife is a drug rep for Omnicef.

I have been on both for long periods of time, no trouble in the sun. My daughters ride horses and I walk dogs as a part-time job. I am out in the sun a lot!
