Any prescriptions associated with the side effect of photophobia?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Many: There are many medications that list photophobia as a potential side effect. Amoxicillin does not. There are eye conditions that cause photophobia (iritis, corneal disease) and you should be checked by an ophthalmologist to determine the cause.
