Why does this page exits?

This is the exact same substance as the explosive is it not? Does the page on the chemical not deal with the medical properties? at most this should be a redirect to that section of the page, not a full on article on it's own.

What? are we afraid people with angina are going to go an try to get the nitro out of the capsule their literal lives depend on to make makeshift, highly unstable explosives? Why does this page exist when this one exists: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitroglycerin

There is no point in hiding the fact that his can also be used as an explosive, any more than there would be a point in hiding both the danger to people working with it heart wise, or it's medical properties for people with certain heart conditions.I see no reason why this article shouldn't just be merged into the main article under the medical section. 86.124.203.35 (talk) 22:58, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
