Amyl Nitrite Inhalant USP
 Indications
Amyl Nitrite Inhalant USP is an organic nitrite used for
the relief and prophylactic management of angina pectoris. The drug
is delivered via inhalation.
Pharmacology
The principal pharmacological action of Amyl Nitrite is relaxation
of vascular smooth muscle, resulting in generalized vasodilation.
Although Amyl Nitrite reflexly increases heart rate and myocardial
contractility which increases myocardial oxygen consumption, the
reduction in ventricular wall tension results in a net decrease
in myocardial oxygen consumption. By decreasing myocardial oxygen
consumption, Amyl Nitrite alters the imbalance of myocardial oxygen
supply which causes angina pectoris.
Product Stability
JAC'S Amyl Nitrite Inhalant USP carries an expiration date
of five years.
Product Storage Conditions
Keep protected from light at 2-8 degrees C (36-46 degrees
F). Amyl Nitrite is extremely flammable. Keep from heat and open
flame.
Directions for Use
The inhalant should be held away from the face while activating
the package. To break the inner vial, crush ONCE between the thumb
and forefinger at the dot located at the center of the inhalant.
Carefully pass the inhalant back and forth close to the nose of
the affected person several times. Discard inhalant after use. Relief
usually occurs in one to three minutes.
Precautions
Amyl Nitrite Inhalant is a prescription drug. Use only in
accordance with a physician's instructions. FDA regulations specifically
prohibit labeling the product for uses other than the treatment
of angina pectoris (see 21CFR 250.102)
