Sodium nitrate has also been investigated as a phase-change material for thermal energy recovery, owing to its relatively high melting enthalpy of 178 J/g. [14] [15] Examples of the applications of sodium nitrate used for thermal energy storage include solar thermal power technologies and direct steam generating parabolic troughs. [14]
Most side effects are direct consequences of the vasodilation and the resultant low blood pressure. They include headache ("nitrate headache") resulting from the widening of blood vessels in the brain, reflex tachycardia (fast heart rate), flush, dizziness, nausea and vomiting. These effects usually subside after a few days if the treatment is ...

Common side effects include headache, lightheadedness with standing, and blurred vision. [1] Severe side effects include low blood pressure. [1] It is unclear if use in pregnancy is safe for the baby. [1] It should not be used together with PDE5 Inhibitors. [1] Isosorbide dinitrate is in the nitrate family of medications and works by dilating ...
Besides nitrates used to treat cardiovascular conditions, ED medications can interact with certain recreational drugs that contain nitrates, like amyl nitrate “poppers.” Interaction With ...
Sodium thiosulfate, also spelled sodium thiosulphate, is used as a medication to treat cyanide poisoning, pityriasis versicolor, and to decrease side effects from cisplatin. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] For cyanide poisoning, it is often used after the medication sodium nitrite and is typically only recommended for severe cases.
