- Lasix/Furosemide
This medication may make you more sensitive to the sun. Avoid prolonged sun exposure, tanning booths, and sunlamps. Use a sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors.
Diamox/Acetazolomide
Avoid prolonged sun exposure, tanning booths and sunlamps. Use a sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors.
Topiramate/Topamax
Topiramate can infrequently cause decreased sweating, which could raise your body temperature to unsafe levels (hypothermia). The risk of this serious side effect is greater in hot weather and/or during vigorous exercise.Drink plenty of fluids and dress lightly in hot weather or when exercising.
Methazolomide/Neptazane
This medication may make you more sensitive to the sun. Avoid prolonged sun exposure, tanning booths, and sunlamps. Use a sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors. |
