Should sublingual nitroglycerin (SL NTG) tablets be discarded 6 months after opening the bottle?
Many of us were taught that SL NTG (Nitrostat, etc) is easily degraded...and should be replaced every 6 months.
But these tablets actually stay potent until the expiration date on the bottle...even if the bottle has been opened frequently.
