STAY IN THE SHADE IF YOU TAKE THESE DRUGS
Some drugs magnify the harmful effects of the sun.
According to Harvard Health Letter, you should check with your doctor to make sure he medications you are taking are sun safe.
You'll want to get more shade and less sun if you are taking the following drugs:
1. Antibiotics. Ciprofloxacin (Cipro, ProQuin), doxycycline (Oracea,Vibramycin), sulfa methoxazole (Bactrim, Gantanol, Septra) or tetracycline (Achromycin)
2. Cancer drugs that increase sun sensitivity: They include 5-fluorouracil (Carac, Efudex, Fluoroplex), dacarbazine (DTIC-Dome) and vemurafenib (Zelboraf)
3. Decongestants and older antihistamines. Pseudoephedrine (Sudafed), phenylephrine
(Sudafed PE) and diphenhydramine (Benadryl). Try fexofenadine (Allegra) or loratadine (Claritin)
4. Diabetes medications. Chlorpropamide (Diabinese) and glyburide (DiaBeta, Glynase, Micronase).
5. Diuretics. Furosemide (Lasix) and hydrochlorothiazide (Microzide)
6. Cardiovascular medications. Amiodarone (Cordarone), for serious heart rhythm disturbances, and the blood pressure drugs diltiazem (Cardizem, Dilacor, Tiazac) and nifedipine (Procardia).
7. Pain relievers. Ibuprofen (Motrin), naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), celecoxib (Celebrex) and piroxicam (Feldene) increase the chances of a serious sunburn. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) doesn’t.
8. Sychiatric drugs. Chlorpromazine (Thorazine), desipramine (Norpramin), imipramine (Tofranil) and other anti-anxiety and antidepressant drugs can inhibit the body’s ability to

American Banner
Wave on high grand old flag For the sake of all who care;
You're the symbol of our freedom, The answer to our prayer.
You give us strength to hold our ground Against the brazen few
Who would test our mettle, Our fortitude, dedicated to you.
Your colors stand for more Than what we learned in school;
They blend together,
Form a wrapper, for the golden rule.
You guide the way we carry on When faced with a mighty test;
Each minute and hour of every day We resolve to do our best
To stand as one before the terror That violates nature's laws, To protect the rights of all
Who pledge allegiance to your cause.
Wave on high, grand old flag, It's you we loudly cheer;
You radiate a wondrous spirit, That helps us conquer fear.
When hope, care, and promise Are the world's greatest need, You shine bright from way on high A banner to take the lead.
