A member asked:

I've got hemophilia b 23% factor 9 deficiency. in 1981, age two (now 35) via transfusion of factor 9 hep c anti. can amyl nitrate be prescribed 4this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not that I'm aware: Amyl nitrate, not to be confused with amyl nitrite which is used medicinally to relax blood vessels (and also recreationally as "poppers") is most likely toxic to humans. While it's used as reagent in industrial chemical synthesis and as an additive to diesel fuel, i can find no evidence for its use in medicine for Hemophilia, hepatitis C or other disorders.
