Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) and Laser Hair Removal

I am taking Hctz for high blood pressure. On the bottle is says to stay away from artificial light. Is it ok for me to have laser hair removed on my face? The laser tech thought it should be fine but it worries me? Any info would be great. Thank you.

Speak with your prescribing doctor about the warning. I found the following websites that may help you understand the warning:

• eMedicine – Drug-Induced Photosensitivity
• MedlinePlus – Hydrochlorothiazide
