Why should you avoid handling nitroglycerin pills with bare hands?
Many people are surprised to learn that the nitroglycerin in the tablets is the same chemical compound as the nitroglycerin that is used as an explosive. The chemical compound is very volatile, which means that it is difficult to contain in tablet form. By handling the tablets, the nitroglycerin may be absorbed through the skin from the tablet. Briefly touching the tablets should not be a concern, but they should not be handled excessively. Also, make sure nitroglycerin tablets are stored in a cool, dry place - not the car or the bathroom cabinet. Discard the bottle 6 months after it is first opened, as the tablets may lose their effectiveness.

Nitroglycerin is typically used by people who have experienced heart pain. It should be taken if the pain recurs.

Always follow your doctor's advice on how many pills to take and when to seek medical attention.

How do you dispose of nitroglycerin?
The nitroglycerin content of angina pills is very small, and does not constitute an explosion hazard of any sort. Nitroglycerin pills should be disposed of as per the packaging insert (typically, wrapped thoroughly in newspaper, then put in trash). If you have bulk quantities of pure nitroglycerin -- more than a fraction of a teaspoon -- you have a very hazardous material that must be handled with care. Nitroglycerin is highly energetic; the detonation of a tablespoon (30cc) could amputate the hand holding the spoon and possibly kill someone. There are methods, typically involving the reaction of nitroglycerin with a base such as sodium hydroxide, for neutralizing the nitroglycerin. However, unless you are an experienced chemist or otherwise have experience in the handling of sensitive materials, you should not attempt neutralization -- or disposal -- of nitroglycerin yourself. Call your local fire department to let them know what you have. They can assist you or contact someone who can. Be aware that you may have some explaining to do, if you have more than experimental quantities and don't have an ATF license...
