The phototoxic consequences are those that are generated with drugs taken orally, explains Boticaria García.According to the expert they are generated "in just a few minutes or hours" and manifest themselves in the form of blisters or vesicles.What kind of medications can these reactions cause?Antiulcery (stomach protectors such as omeprazole), hypertension medications, antihistamines, anti -inflammatories (such as ibuprofen), psychotopármacos (diazepam).This list would also include oral contraceptives.In addition, and as they remember from the Catalonia Drug Information Center, the "injuries can be reversed 2-7 days after suspending the drug".
The other reaction we can find is the photo allergic, which would consist that the sun becomes an allergen for the skin when combined with any of these drugs.In this case they usually relate to topical medications (creams).This reaction takes longer to appear, "it would be in a matter of days," says Boticaria.In addition, "it can appear in other parts of the body", not only in the area where the cream has been applied.
Boticaria reminds us that the best way to protect the sun is photoevitation, that is, avoid ultraviolet rays with hats, umbrellas and "clothing with protection factor", the so -called UPF."A cotton shirt can have even a 12 UPF protection factor," says the scientific disseminator.In addition, if it gets wet, it would amplify its protection factor.This kind of protection would be very important for patients who are receiving chemotherapy, according to Boticaria.Garcia has also recalled the importance of consulting with the doctor or pharmacist on the taking of medicines in summer, since there are many that are prescribed prolonged and it is important to keep the possible effects they have regarding the sun exposure vigilated.
