For Sun Sensitivity Try Coolibar Sun Protective Clothing

Many people take drugs that increase sun sensitivity and the risk of health problems from overexposure to the sun. Common examples of these drugs include antibiotics such as tetracycline and Cipro®, diuretics such as Lasix®, and antidepressants such as Elavil®. Potential problems from combining these drugs with overexposure to the sun include blistering sunburns, an increased likelihood of melasma and other forms of skin discoloration, phototoxic syndrome, and an increased risk of skin cancer.

However, you can be effectively protected against the sun's damaging rays. Coolibar's innovative sun protective clothing for women and men, sun hats and sun protective swimwear are designed to cover a maximum amount of skin and still be cool, comfortable and fashionable. Our specialized fabrics are lightweight, breathe well, and manage moisture while they diffuse or absorb 97% or more UVA and UVB rays. So you can enjoy the sun with peace of mind.
