Answer:
b. "I should use a heating pad to treat muscle spasms while taking this medication.
Explanation:
Basically, Antipsychotic drug medication increases heat sensitivity of the skin.Therefore when you applied heat pad to your muscle spams, you are increasing the risk of damaging your skin layers. This can cause photosensitivity-like reaction in your skin.This is the chemical reactions in the skin characterised with inflammation of the affected part, rashes, itching, blisters etc.Therefore I will advise you not to apply heat pad rather make use of cold pad.
