Amyl nitrite is a depressant which means it slows down the messages traveling between the brain and body. Classified as an inhalant , it belongs to a class of drugs known as alkyl nitrites, which also includes butyl nitrite, isobutyl nitrite and isopropyl nitrite. Amyl nitrite is a vasodilator. Vasodilators are medicines that cause the blood vessels in the body to dilate and the involuntary smooth muscles to relax, lowering blood pressure.

Amyl nitrate is the most common form of the drug.
