This medicine that I just started taking for a spider bite says to avoid excessive exposure to direct and artificial sunlight. I'm on vacation and want to enjoy the pool. Can I lay out?

Hi, Karenset! How are you?

Doxycyline can make you more sensitive to the sun, so you may burn or get heat stroke much faster than normal. Thus, if you really want to enjoy the sunshine, it would be best to be very careful and use a heavier sunscreen than you normally would. You should also make sure to drink extra fluids, since this sensitivity could also cause dehydration.

Avoiding sun exposure would be best and you should never lay out in it, if your doctor has told you not to do so, but I do understand wanting to enjoy your vacation. Please be careful!
