Which antibiotics require light protection during administration?

Levofloxacin, moxifloxacin
Doxycycline, micafungin, pentamidine
Cefazolin, cefuroxime
Metronidazole, fluconazole

The correct answer is: Doxycycline, micafungin, pentamidine

Antibiotics like doxycycline, micafungin, and pentamidine require light protection during administration. This is because these antibiotics are light-sensitive and can degrade when exposed to light, leading to a loss of potency or stability. Therefore, it is crucial to protect these medications from light to ensure their effectiveness when administered to patients. The other options are incorrect: - Levofloxacin and moxifloxacin do not require light protection during administration. - Cefazolin and cefuroxime do not require light protection during administration. - Metronidazole and fluconazole do not require light protection during administration.
