Poppers are a class of recreational drugs that are used sexually for smooth muscle relaxation and a sensation of rapid onset euphoria. Typically "poppers" refers to one of several alkyl nitrites, though occasionally the term is used to describe ethyl chloride or "spray poppers". Specific drugs in this class include isoamyl nitrite, isopentyl nitrite, isopropyl nitrite, and isobutyl nitrite.

Interactions

Poppers act synergistically with PDE5 inhibitors which are commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction. The combination of poppers and PDE5 inhibitors can cause dangerously low blood pressure and should be avoided. Examples of PDE5 inhibitors include:

• Sildenafil (Viagra)
• Tadalafil (Cialis)
• Vardenafil (Levitra, Staxyn, Vivanza)
