AB Organic  nitrates  (eg,  nitroglycerin,  isosorbide  dinitrate,  and  isosorbide  mononitrate)  are  widely  used  as  vasodilators  for  the  treatment  of  ischemic  heart  disease  and  heart  failure.  Organic  nitrates  such  as  nitroglycerin  also  are  used  in  explosives.  Bismuth  subnitrate,  ammonium  nitrate,  and  silver  nitrate  are  used  in  antidiarrheal  drugs,  cold  packs,  and  topical  burn  medications,  respectively.  Sodium  and  potassium  nitrate  and  nitrite  are  used  in  preserving  cured  foods  and  may  also  occur  in  high  concentrations  in  some  well  water  and  in  antifreeze  mixtures.  Butyl,  amyl,  ethyl,  and  isobutyl  nitrites  often  are  sold  as  "room  deodorizers"  or  "liquid  incense"  and  sometimes  are  inhaled  for  abuse  purposes.
