What Are the Health Risks and Side Effects of Poppers?

It has been proven that poppers are largely harmless when used correctly, responsibly and in moderation. However, despite the short duration of action, there are some risks that we would like to draw your attention to clearly on this page:

Poppers are not addicting. There is also no sound evidence of long-term psychological or physical damage attributable to the use of poppers.

What effects poppers have on your body

The inhalation of poppers has a very strong vasodilator effect. There is a sudden dilation of the blood vessels and a brief drop in blood pressure for a minute with an increased pulse rate. Consumption together with Viagra or Kamagra is life-threatening as it can lead to an excessive drop in blood pressure. We expressly advise against combining it with any products containing the active ingredient sildenafil. Risk of death!

Do not ignore safer sex rules

Poppers lead to the breakdown of inhibitions. This does not mean that you should put safer sex in the background. Never leave a condom out.

Do not drink poppers and avoid direct contact

Never drink poppers! Ingestion can be fatal. There is a risk of fatal pneumonia. If someone accidentally drinks poppers, never make the person vomit, but drink plenty of water. Avoid dangerous confusion between poppers bottles and ginger shots and similar drinks.

Direct contact with skin, mucous membranes and eyes should be avoided at all costs, as
poppers have a corrosive effect. In case of contact with skin, mucous membranes and eyes, rinse immediately with water. You can further reduce the risk with suitable accessories such as an inhaler, poppers booster cap or a Banger Station XTRM.

Clarification required for these medications and pre-existing conditions

If you are taking antihypertensive medication, cardiovascular medication or medication for respiratory diseases, special care is required. Please contact your doctor in advance and clarify the interaction with poppers. People with pre-existing cardiovascular and brain diseases should refrain from using poppers.

Excessive consumption of poppers can damage the retina.

Hands off poppers based on isopropyl nitrite

Some poppers (e.g. with isopropyl nitrite as an ingredient) are carcinogenic. We distance ourselves from these poppers and do not sell them on this site. You will find the ingredients listed on all poppers.

Keep poppers away from heat and flames

The nitrites in the poppers are easily flammable. Therefore, be careful when smoking, using candles and lighters.
