Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A loss of potency in sublingual nitroglycerin would result in the medication not providing its intended effect of inducing a tingling sensation when placed under the tongue. Other potential side effects or changes in color/smell would not necessarily indicate a loss of potency.
