Considered as a drug that should only be used by the patient under professional medical care supervision, Medical Nitrous Oxide (N2O) is used in order to provide analgesia and is essential for surgeries.

Medical Nitrous Oxide is also satisfactory for the relief of pain in labor and the provision of analgesia for conservative dental procedures. Its use has been extended to alleviate the pain in myocardial ischemia, acute trauma, and after surgical operation.

N2O is stored and delivered by SOAL as a colorless liquid in equilibrium with the gas phase pressurized to approximately 50 bars at room temperature inside specially treated blue steel cylinders.
