Transporting light-sensitive medications

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?
