Amphotericin B requires protection from:

Amphotericin B is sensitive to light, which is why it requires protection from exposure to light during storage and handling. Photodegradation can occur when Amphotericin B is exposed to light, leading to a decrease in its efficacy and potential formulation instability. Therefore, it is essential to store Amphotericin B in opaque containers or to cover it with protective materials to prevent light exposure, ensuring that the medication remains effective for the patient’s treatment.

In contrast, while moisture, oxygen, and heat can affect many pharmaceutical compounds, the specific requirement for Amphotericin B is primarily its vulnerability to light, making proper handling and storage crucial to maintaining drug integrity and effectiveness.
