Does Amiodarone Cause Sun Allergy?
Thank you! Is sun allergy a common side effect of amiodarone? I take 200 mg. tab. each morning. Used sunscreen, and had hot, red sandpaper rash that was extremely itchy. No blisters, but did peel. The only medication that I can think of that has changed is amiodarone. Thank you for your help.
