related to the workplace where an injury occurred.

Names because it is available in two different chemical forms that can be easily confused?
A.
Labetalol
B.

requirement for child-resistant containers?

exempt from the requirement for child-resistant containers. Although some dosage forms of
nitroglycerin (sublingual), potassium chloride (those in unit dose packages), and isosorbide
(dinitrate in sublingual or chewable tablets of 10 mg or less) are also exempt, other dosage
forms of these are not, so these medications, in their current form, are incorrect.
