no-doxy is the biggest...and hope others will answer...maybe tetracycline? all the cyclines?
amox, zith, flagyl are all fine-most are fine

I think mino is one. Most are OK.

All the cyclines.
Doxy, tetra, mini......no sun.

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.
