rio19111 Why not Cipro? +1

raspushok Which antibiotics increase photosensitivity? Several antibiotic classes commonly cause photosensitivity, including tetracyclines (doxycycline), quinolones (ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin), and sulphonamides (trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, sulfasalazine). The tetracycline minocycline is not generally associated with photosensitivity. WHY not damn cipro? +
