Drug-induced photosensitivity isthe termused for the cutaneous adverse drug reaction that results from interaction between UV radiations and drug molecule. The majority of photosensitivity reactions occurs in the ultraviolet-A spectrum. Drug-induced phototoxic reactions and Drug-induced photoallergic reactions are two main types of Drug-induced photosensitivity (DIP) reactions. Drug-induced photoallergic reactions are immune mediated, while Drug-induced phototoxic reactions are caused by direct cellular death. The onset of Drug-induced phototoxic responses(DI-PTRs) can happen anywhere from 30 minutesto 24 hoursfollowing sun exposure. The symptoms may subside quickly or persist for up to four days. Nonetheless, a few daysfollowing exposure, a rashthat isitchyand eczematous develops in Drug-induced photoallergic reactions(DI-PARs). This paper includes a thorough definition of Drug- induced photosensitivity(DIP), a discussion of its causative medications, and itssubtypes. We discussed how doctors can identify and treat Drug-induced photosensitivity (DIP) early on. We offered recommendations on how to help patients who runthe risk of developing Drug-induced photosensitivity (DIP) modifytheirsun exposure habits.
