Warning: NOt everyone who is on amoxil (amoxicillin) will have sun sensitivity. If you notice a rash in any sun exposed area, you will have to get a note to be excused from outdoor activity until the medication is completed or changed to one that doesnt cause this reaction. Feel better

Amoxicillin: Photosensitivity is not a problem with penicillin derivatives, so it is doubtful that the warning is related to the medication. You don't say why you are being given this antibiotic and that may relate to why the doctor recommended you keep out of the sun. Your 50 min P.E. session should be fine.
