does taking this drug make you more sensitive to sun and therefore burn more quickly?

Hello, Caitlyn! How are you?

Yes, most mediations can cause that. If you're going to be in the sign, it's best to be careful how long you are in it, use a good sun block and make sure to drink plenty of water, unless you're on fluid restriction.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of this antibiotic as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
