Methotrexate and light therapy box

Posted by greenwillow on October 24, 2004, at 13:51:52

I am on Methotrexate 15 mg. once weekly long term for RA and recently began using a light therapy box to help delayed sleep syndrome. This morning I noticed my MTX bottle has a warning: "You should avoid prolonged or excessive exposure to direct and/or artificial sunlight while taking this medication." I am hoping someone can tell me what gives with this combination. Does light box therapy constitute artificial sunlight since supposedly the UV waves have been blocked?
