title: [Photoprotection by drugs].
abstract: Medicinal photoprotection is indicated in photosensitive skin diseases and photodermatoses. Vitamin PP and para-aminobenzoic acid can be tried in benign estival polymorphous light eruptions. Carotinoids are efficient in erythropoietic protoporphyria and useful in idiopathic polymorphous light eruptions and in remanent photosensitization. Immunodepressants may be used against remanent photosensitization.
