“…It was found that thermogravimetric analysis affords a rapid and reliable means of evaluating the influence of various tablet components on the volatility of nitroglycerin. This report describes preliminary studies which ultimately led to the development of a stabilized compressed nitroglycerin tablet (9). EXPERIMENTAL Tablet Preparation-Nitroglycerin tablets, containing 0.6 mg of drug in each 30-mg tablet, were prepared using nitroglycerin spirit (9.1% w/v), alcohol USP, lactose (anhydrous) USP, starch USP, microcrystalline cellulose' NF, and calcium stearate NF.…”
