no-doxy is the biggest...and hope others will answer...maybe tetracycline? all the cyclines?

amox, zith, flagyl are all fine-most are fine

When you get your prescriptions filled, always take a minute to look at the package inserts.

Lots of medications can cause sun sensitivity, not just antibiotics.

From memory, I know for sure Levaquin and birth control pills can increase your risk of sun sensitivity/burns. They are common ones.
