Pharmacy - Poppers? Ecstacy?


Expert: Dr. Ravindra Bhaskar Ghooi - 10/8/2009

Question
Good Day!

I was just curious to find out about any adverse effects of Poppers?  I have many friends who do them, and convince me that they have never had a side effect, except that it makes them feel very good!  I am curious to try them myself, but in my goal to be well informed, I want to fully understand what bad side effects may occur, before making a decision on it.

I appreciate your time  :)

Answer
Hi Shane,
Poppers otherwise known as nitrites are used both medcally and for recreational purposes. To the best of my knowledge they dont have any serious or long term effects. The only problem with them is tolerance in which repeated doses roduce reducing effects. So you cannot use them continually but best only once in a while.Ecstacy has however serious side effects, best not to touch it.
