What type of packaging should Nitroglycerin SL products always be dispensed in?

Nitroglycerin sublingual (SL) products should always be dispensed in light-resistant packaging. This is important because nitroglycerin is sensitive to light, and exposure can degrade the medication, reducing its efficacy.

Additionally, protecting medications from light is a regulatory requirement for certain medications, including nitroglycerin, to ensure that patients receive the maximum benefit from their prescribed therapy. While child-resistant packaging is important for medications to prevent accidental ingestion by children, it is not the primary concern for nitroglycerin SL products, which focus on maintaining the stability and effectiveness of the medication. Easy-open packaging does not provide the necessary protection from light that nitroglycerin requires. Eco-friendly packaging is not specifically relevant to the stability of the medication and does not address the critical need for light protection for nitroglycerin.
