Look closely at the tablet’s markings. Nitroglycerin tablets usually have a specific imprint identifying the manufacturer and dosage. Check for a unique score line, often present for easier breaking and accurate dosage adjustments.
Examine the tablet’s shape and size. While variations exist across manufacturers, nitroglycerin tablets are typically small and round or oblong. Compare any tablets found to known images or descriptions of nitroglycerin medication.
Consider the color. Nitroglycerin tablets commonly appear white, but slight variations are possible. A color significantly different from the expected could indicate a different medication.
Never assume a tablet is nitroglycerin without verification. If you suspect your dog ingested something, contact your veterinarian or an animal poison control center immediately. They can provide precise guidance based on the specific situation. Provide them with as much detail as possible about any tablets found.
