It is typically used in tablet form taken under the tongue. It is primarily used to treat Angina pain as it causes blood vessels to dilate allowing a greater blood flow.
It is also an explosive liquid that can be detonated with sudden sharp motion and is a component of trinitrotoluene or TNT.
Nitroglycerin was invented by Italian chemist Ascanio Sobrero in 1847.
The major constituent of dynamite is nitroglycerin, which is an explosive compound. Nitroglycerin is typically mixed with an absorbent material like sawdust or clay to create a stable and safe-to-handle explosive compound.
When administering nitroglycerin via IV, it is important to use IV tubing that is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and not of polyethylene. This is because polyethylene tubing can react with nitroglycerin, causing it to degrade and potentially become less effective. It is recommended to consult with your institution's policies and guidelines for specific recommendations on IV tubing for nitroglycerin administration.
Nitro is used topically as a vasodilator
Nitroglycerin doesn't really have a plural, since it is a liquid.
How is Nitroglycerin related to fat?!?!?!?!
Nitroglycerin is one molecule.
The use of nitroglycerin in sawdust typically refers to the production of dynamite, where nitroglycerin serves as an explosive agent mixed with an absorbent material like sawdust. The exact amount of nitroglycerin in dynamite can vary, but it generally comprises about 60-75% nitroglycerin by weight, with the rest being composed of sawdust or other stabilizing materials. However, specific formulations can differ based on the intended application and manufacturer.
The nitroglycerin was palliative to saving his life during his heartattack.
