-==Dosage and Administration==
-With the patient in recumbent or seated position a capsule of amyl nitrite is held away from the face, crushed between the fingers, and held under the patient's nose. Two to six inhalations of the vapors from the capsule are usually sufficient to promptly produce therapeutic effects. Caution is recommended to avoid inhalation of excessive amounts of the drug when it is administered by someone other than the patient. If necessary, the dose may be repeated in 3 to 5 minutes.<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>
