Abstract We report the case of a male individual who developed a severe photosensitive reaction after sun exposure during therapy with fluoxetin 20 mg bid plus alprazolam 0.25 mg bid due to depressive disturbances. The patients, of North‐African origin, was not taking other prescription medications nor over the counter products; in the past he had never shown any reaction to sunlight nor had ever used sun protective agents because of its phenotypical skin mark. Three months later, after a second photosensitive reaction, the pharmacological therapy was finally discontinued.
