Question

which of the following medications is exempt from the poison prevention packaging act (pppa) and should be kept in the original packaging instead of dispensed in a childproof container?
nitroglycerin (nitrostat) sublingual tablets
aspirin chewable tablets
sertraline (zoloft) tablets
naproxen (aleve) tablets

Explanation:

Nitroglycerin (Nitrostat) sublingual tablets are often exempt from the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA) because they need to be accessed quickly in case of a medical emergency. Child - proof containers could delay access and potentially be life - threatening. The other medications listed do not have the same urgent need for immediate access.

Answer:

Nitroglycerin (Nitrostat) sublingual tablets
