Tarburton and Metcalf (1985) found that amyl nitrite caused both
adult and cord blood to oxidize from hemoglobin to methemoglobin in
vitro. Combining erectile dysfunction drugs with other medications--and
even with the recreational substances amyl nitrite or nitrate; commonly
called poppers--can result in dangerously low blood pressure and
possibly even death, says Ken Mayer, medical research director for
Boston's Fenway Community Health. Those
drugs that can stress the immune system include antibiotics, birth
control pills, corticosteroids, cytotoxic chemicals, amyl nitrite,
street drugs, general anesthetics, and alcohol. |
