Can Medication Cause A Rash On Skin?

My sister in law is taking warfarin. She was on the beach on Sunday with her feet in the sand and she has come out in a red rash all over her shins and the back of her lower legs. The rash is in dark red patches on her skin. Not sure if this medication has any affect with her being in the sun?
