Zithromax can increase your sensitivity to sunlight, leading to sunburn even with minimal sun exposure. Pay close attention to your skin while taking this medication. Typical sunburn symptoms, intensified by Zithromax, include redness, warmth, and pain in the affected area.
Recognizing Severe Sunburn
Severe sunburn may present with blistering, swelling, fever, chills, and even nausea. Seek medical attention if you experience these symptoms. Remember, even a mild sunburn can be more intense while using Zithromax.
Protecting Yourself
Minimize sun exposure by seeking shade during peak sun hours (10 AM to 4 PM). Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, applying it liberally and reapplying every two hours, or more frequently if swimming or sweating. Wear protective clothing, including a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses.
