Carry-on details
Allowed. Nitroglycerin tablets and spray, used to treat angina, are solid/spray medication with no quantity limit in carry-on. Carry-on is strongly recommended so it's on hand in case you need it during the flight.
Checked-bag details
Allowed. No restriction in checked baggage, though carry-on is far better for immediate access.
Special instructions
A prescription label isn't required, but keeping medication identifiable can speed up screening. You can request a visual inspection instead of X-ray if you prefer.
