Nitroglycerine is a highly explosive oily liquid, extremely sensitive to shock and heat.
It forms the basis of dynamite and other explosives.
In medicine, nitroglycerine dilates blood vessels and is used to treat angina and heart conditions, typically as tablets dissolved under the tongue or as patches.
Also spelled nitroglycerin.
