Sun Alert: Medications You Need to Be Cautious With This Summer
Pharmacists Issue Warning: Common Medications Can Increase Sun Sensitivity Madrid, Spain – As summer approaches, healthcare professionals are reminding the public about the hidden dangers of sun exposure when taking certain medications. A recent viral video from a pharmacist in Spain highlights several common drug categories that can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, leading to adverse reactions. The video, created by pharmacist farmartula_, lists medications such as antibiotics (e.g., tetracycline, ciprofloxacin), retinoids (e.g., isotretinoin), NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen), antidepressants (e.g., doxepin, SSRIs), antihistamines (e.g., ebastine, loratadine), antihypertensives (e.g., enalapril, losartan), and even some oral contraceptives (e.g., estradiol, levonorgestrel) as potential photosensitizers. "These medications, when administered, can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight, causing unwanted reactions," the pharmacist explained in her video description. She advises individuals taking any of these drugs to take extra precautions against the sun during the summer months. Experts emphasize the importance of consulting with a pharmacist or doctor if you are unsure whether your medication could increase sun sensitivity. Protective measures include wearing protective clothing, seeking shade, and using broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF.
