Drugs with potencial to induce photosensitivity

Jana Martinásková
Lékárna FN Ostrava

Especially in the spring and summer months, we should emphasize the provision of information on sun protection when dispensing drugs with a photosensitive potential. At the level of pharmacies we can minimize the risk of developing adverse photosensitive drug reaction and reduce the probability of discontinuation of administered drug and associated following complications in treatment. The article presents a summary of selected medication and drug groups for which a clinically significant risk of photosensitivity reaction development has been demonstrated.

Keywords: drug-induced photosensitivity, phototoxicity, photosensitizing potential.
