I have developed respiratory infection about ten days ago. I have started with ciprofloxac. I feel much better and have plan to travel this weekend two spend few days at the seaside. I believe that would do me well, because of respiratory difficulties that I have very often. I have to be on ciproflox for next ten days. Is ciproflox photosensitive?
Ciprofloxacin causes skin to be more sensitive on sun. It may cause appearance of spots on face and body. You should use sun block, stay out of sunlight during the midday hours and wear protective cloth. You need spf of at least 15, but 20 would be better. Anyway, your decision is good. I believe that fresh, salty air will do you good.
