“…Initially it was felt that the FQ group as a whole was capable of producing only mild erythema skin reactions particularly at high drug dosages and high levels of UVA exposure. However, it has since become evident that members of the group have marked phototoxic capacity, not only occurring with a higher clinical incidence (fleroxacin 10–15%; lomefloxacin 4–10%) but also a significantly greater skin effect 11–16 …”

We conclude that 100 mg twice a day sitafloxacin in Caucasians is associated with a mild degree of cutaneous phototoxicity. Enoxacin 200 mg three times a day and sparfloxacin 200 mg day-1 are much more photoactive. Sparfloxacin phototoxicity is induced by UVA and visible wavelengths. Levofloxacin and placebo failed to show a phototoxic effect. In the Oriental study, sitafloxacin 50 mg twice a day and 100 mg twice a day failed to demonstrate a clinically significant phototoxic effect.
