Nitroglycerin Holders
If you have been prescribed nitroglycerin
(nitro) pills by your doctor for angina (chest
discomfort) you probably keep them in the
prescription bottle on the window sill in
the kitchen so you don't have to waste time
looking all over the house if you experience
chest pain. But exposure to sunlight ruins
nitro and renders it ineffective.
When looking for a place to store your pills,
use a light-blocking nitro case or pill box
that is also airtight and secure. The seal
protects the pill from degrading from exposure
to moisture. The pills should be kept in
a secure location out of the reach of the
young and of pets since even touching a nitro
pill can transfer the medicine into the body.
Key Chain Holders and Jewelry Cases
A clever idea is to keep some of your nitro
handy either in a key chain holder or in
a pendant around your neck. This keeps your
nitro pills right where you can get them
when you need them.
Some holders are quite fashionable with brushed
gold or silver so they don't advertising
your need for nitro. Since your
doctor probably
instructed you to take no more
than three
nitro pills in a sequence, the
holders are
small (for just a few pills)
allowing you
to keep the remaining pills safely
tucked
away out of sunlight and harm's
way in their
prescription bottle. |
