Avoiding direct sunlight exposure actually only applies to certain antibiotics and some other medications. These medications increase your photosensitivity. Some medications do this by thinning the skin, others cause reactions between sunlight and the drug or its metabolites in the skin - resulting in an increased chance of getting a sun burn. This applies to all skin types, but especially to those with fair complexions (who are already more sensitive to sunlight).
