Drug-induced photosensitivity - Generics
Drug-induced photosensitivity is a condition in which exposure to sunlight or other sources of ultraviolet (UV) radiation triggers a skin reaction in individuals who are taking certain medications. Some medications can cause the skin to become more sensitive to sunlight, which can lead to a variety of skin reactions such as redness, itching, burning, and blistering.
Common medications that can cause photosensitivity include:
- Antibiotics, such as tetracycline, doxycycline, and ciprofloxacin
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen and naproxen
- Diuretics, such as hydrochlorothiazide
- Antihistamines, such as diphenhydramine and cetirizine
- Retinoids, such as isotretinoin and acitretin
- Chemotherapy drugs
- Certain antidepressants and antipsychotics
Preventing drug-induced photosensitivity involves taking measures to protect the skin from exposure to sunlight, such as:
- Wearing protective clothing, such as long-sleeved shirts and hats
- Applying broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30
- Avoiding sun exposure during peak hours, typically between 10 am and 4 pm
- Using artificial sources of light, such as fluorescent or LED lights, rather than sunlight or incandescent bulbs
If you experience symptoms of photosensitivity while taking a medication, it is important to speak with your healthcare professional, who may recommend stopping or changing the medication, or adjusting the dose. In some cases, the symptoms of photosensitivity may persist even after the medication is discontinued, and long-term skin care may be necessary to prevent further damage to the skin.
