One of the possible adverse effect in various drugs is increased sensitivity to sun irradiation. It can manifest as a phototoxic orphotoallergic reaction. Patients using high‑risk medication should be educated about photoprotection. Measures of sun protectioninclude avoidance of exposure to the sun during midday, wearing photoprotective clothes and aplication of sunscreens.
