“…However, drug-induced UVB photosensitivity has also been reported [2, 3, 4, 5, 6], and, thus, ranitidine is another medicine that can induce UVB photosensitivity.…”
We describe a 62-year-old male with photosensitivity due to ranitidine. An oral challenge test after taking ranitidine with UVB irradiation was positive. Ranitidine-induced UVB photosensitivity was persistent even after cessation of the medication.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
