https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/clinical-discussions/30463/metronidazole-injectable Please help! Does Metronidazole injectable need to be covered from sunlight as I am hearing conflicting evidence? Thanks Alex en-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/168807?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 12 Jun 2017 09:22:54 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:def96186-e55f-49e7-85f6-f39730411a9eBethany Mayhew<p>In practice we always cover to protect from light, but I have recently heard that where it says protect from light on the SPC just means direct sunlight and that it is ok to be exposed to fluorescent lighting indoors. Whether this is correct or not I don&#39;t know, just passing on something that has been told to me recently!
