Evaluation of phototoxic properties of antimicrobials used in topical preparations by a photohaemolysis testMarianne Placzek
Klinik und Poliklinik für Dermatologie and Allergologie, Ludwig Maximilians Universitat Munchen, Germany
Acta Derm Venereol 85:13-6. 2005..It is concluded that bronopol and clioquinol exert phototoxic effects in vitro and thus might also cause photosensitization when used on the skin. The clinical significance of this has to be established by further work...
