The drug, Straterra does not cause an increase in the sensitivity to the sun. If anything , it seems to helps one tolerate the sun even more. I take 120mgs of this drug daqily and also ride my bike aqn average of two to three hours in the very intense Florida sun and have noticed that I am NOT as susceptible to sunburning as once I formerly was. During the past week, for example, after greater than fifteen hours of direst sun exposure there is reddish-tannishness to my skin, not burned but completely normal with no sunblockage agent usage at all.
