Sunlight And The Skin

Photosensitivity is a physical reaction that occurs in varying degrees to a certain portion of the population. It occurs when different drugs or medical conditions react with ultraviolet light to cause the body to become more sensitive regarding the skin's acceptance of ultraviolet light. This downloadable list of photosensitizing drugs and agents that may cause a photosensitive reaction.

While this list is comprehensive, it does not list the newer medications on the market. If you have any concerns, have your customers consult with their doctors or pharmacists to see if they can withstand UV exposure--indoors or outdoors.
