==Contraindications==
 
Since it may increase intraocular and intracranial pressures, amyl nitrite is contraindicated or should be used with great caution in patients with [[glaucoma]], recent [[head trauma]] or [[cerebral hemorrhage]].  Amyl nitrite can cause harm to the fetus when it is administered to a pregnant woman because it significantly reduces systemic blood pressure and blood flow on the maternal side of the placenta.<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = AMYL NITRITE INHALANT [JAMES ALEXANDER CORPORATION] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=c1b6e536-df5f-4f76-8e3c-6dc2f1e9975e | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = 30 January 2014 }}</ref>
