What’s photosensitivity? It’s when your skin has increased sensitivity to sunlight and can occur when you take some medicines. The result – even after only brief exposure– can be unexpected sunburn or a rash . If a medicine label advises you to ‘avoid excessive exposure to sunlight’, it means you could have an adverse skin reaction when outdoors. So stay safe and #medicinewise this Australia Day long weekend by being sun aware. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice if you are unsure. nps.org.au/topics/how-to-be-medicinewise/Medicinewise-questions/medicinewise-questions/medicines-and-sun-sensitivity
