| | Amyl nitrite causes a non-specific relaxation of smooth muscle with the most prominant actions occurring in vascular smooth muscle. | | | Mild, transitory headache, dizziness and flushing of the face are common with the use of amyl nitrite. | | | Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when amyl nitrite is administered to a nursing woman. |

| | Psychosexual Aspects of the Volatile Nitrites |
| | Nitrites are reported by many women to be useful for a chief female sexual dysfunction -- distraction -- in which peripheral thoughts of unfinished business, child care, body self-consciousness and day-to-day domestic annoyances block the abandonment to sensation, vital for a full sexual experience. | | | The basic pharmacological action of the nitrites is relaxation of vascular smooth muscles. | | | Thirty percent of new workers in a nitrite bottling plant experienced headache; this is similar to the vascular headache reported years ago among workers in nitroglycerine plants. |

| | Amyl nitrite was first used medically over a century ago Brunton 1867) to treat the chest pains of angina pectoris and has been widely studied (Cash & Dunston 1894). | | | Amyl (and the related isobutyl nitrite) is now used chiefly to enhance sexual activities, but is also used to make disco dancing a more vivid experience. | | | Inhalation of amyl nitrite produces a dramatic vasodilation over the face, neck and upper shoulders, with warmth and redness; there is a rapid fall in systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance and a precipitous drop in systemic arterial pressure. |

| | Nitrite inhalants (including amyl, butyl, and isobutyl nitrite) have been used since 1867, when amyl nitrite was found to have clinical utility in the management of coronary insufficiency. | | | The inhalation of volatile nitrite vapours produces diffuse relaxation of smooth muscle, thereby causing an intense vasodilation with flushing, a fall in blood pressure, an d a reflex tachycardia. | | | These studies have helped clarify the association between nitrite inhalant use, immune dysfunction, and evolving patterns of AIDS expression. |

| | Researchers based at the US National Institute on Drug Abuse have been studying the physiological effects of nitrites, and their research results suggest that use of this drug can cause 'sustained alterations to the human immune system', and may be connected to the development of cancers such as Karposi's Sarcoma. | | | Nitrites are known to be potent inhibitors of the human immune system, and there is currently some debate about the role these substances have with regard to AIDS. | | | The other main effect is as a muscle relaxant; poppers have been popular within the gay scene for a number of years for this reason. |
