Light-Sensitive Injectable Prescription Drugs—2022.

This chart is an update to the 2014 article published in Hospital Pharmacy on injectable drugs that require protection from light. To update the chart, an online search of the FDALabel database was performed from inception through July 31, 2022 using the terms "protect" OR "light." After filtering out drugs with non-injectable routes of administration, the list of generic drug names was combined with the 2014 list and duplicates were removed. The resulting list of drugs was then reviewed to determine whether the drugs require protection from light during storage, preparation, or administration. The reader should always consult the Food and Drug Administration-approved prescribing information for the most up-to-date information regarding the need for protection from light.
