I want a big first aid kit for any type of emergency and wanted some nitroglycerin just so I can be prepaired for anything. There are many people in my family with heart issues and I want to have the things to help save them if ever there was an emergency. So I was wondering how to get nitroglycerin without a perscription. If that is even possible.
can I get nitroglycerin with out a prescription to have for emergencies for my first aid kit?

Wanted to know if I can get nitroglycerin without a order
Nitroglycerin has a rather short shelf life. From someone that uses a lot of this medication, I would suggest that anyone that needs this med. will have it available
Sounds like a good thing on the surface. But it would be sad if someone found them in your kit and you got arrested for not having a prescription. Also if you used them on someone and that person died you could be up on murder charges or at least manslaughter. Get trained by Red Cross to use the AED device. Then buy one and you will be very safe.
I'm sure one of your family members you're referring to have some meds. Get a couple from them. You'll need a prescription to obtain nitro. That isn't something you can buy legally without one. Be careful with nitroglycerin.
