Excellent thread!
I always wonder about Nitroglycerin. Each pill is ultra tiny, kind of sweet to taste and so easily dropped as it can stick to fingertips. If a dog picks it up with his tongue and even briefly brings it into his mouth, it will start to dissolve. And if it lowers a big human's BP pretty dramatically, what could it do to a 5 lb. Yorkie?
I have it to take for occasional esophageal spasm and I take it out of the bottle over the sink so if I drop one, it will fall there. I'm so scared of that stuff falling on the floor. And the lid comes right off the bottle easily, unscrews on its own over time if rolled around much so keep the little bottles in the bigger container and keep them in the cabinet or zippered pocket of the purse, not in a purse loose or somewhere they can roll out and onto the floor if the purse falls over.
