How is Nitroglycerine packaged?

Nitroglycerin is packaged in a dark brown glass bottle to protect it from light, as exposure to light can degrade the medication and reduce its effectiveness. The dark glass offers a necessary barrier that helps maintain the stability and potency of the drug. Nitroglycerin is highly sensitive to both heat and light, which is why the specific choice of packaging is crucial for safeguarding its therapeutic properties.

Packaging in a clear glass vial or a white plastic bottle would expose the medication to light, and a metal canister is not suitable due to potential chemical interactions and reactions that could occur with nitroglycerin. Thus, the choice of a dark brown glass bottle serves both practical and safety purposes in maintaining the integrity of nitroglycerin.
