Hi,
Looking for guidance for everyday practices and for policy wording on how you are handling light sensitive medication vials that are ADD-eased. Are you putting them in Amber bags or bins? Do you state that the BUD of 30 days allowed for small volume ADD-ease is not long enough for stability to be impacted by exposure to light?

Please advise

I would be appreciative if someone could share their institutions policy/procedure or any advice regarding the storage of light-sensitive medications in automatic dispensing cabinets. We are particularly interested in areas with see-through doors where there is no light protection (example a Pyxis Tower)

What is anyone's department's practice hen transporting light sensitive medications from the pharmacy to the ADCs on the floors? Since the medication will be exposed to light for an unknown period of time, are they transported in light sensitive bags? Is anyone aware of a best practice on this topic?
