practice. The chemical instability of the medication allows it to lose effectiveness
over time. While some nitroglycerin tablets have a shelf life of 24 months,
NitroQuick retains its effectiveness for only 8 to 10 months. Because of the
shortened shelf life, the client should not buy the medication in bulk quantities, and
the client should be instructed to date the bottle when it is first opened.
