Drug-induced photosensitivity occurs via phototoxic and photoallergic cellular mechanisms

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that drug-induced photosensitivity occurs via phototoxic and photoallergic cellular mechanisms?

Yes. Drug-induced photosensitivity occurs primarily through phototoxic and photoallergic mechanisms following exposure to ultraviolet radiation.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 2 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently confirms that drug-induced photosensitivity operates via phototoxic (direct cellular damage) and photoallergic (immune-mediated) pathways when medications interact with UV light. Papers 3 and 10 explicitly describe these two mechanisms.
