Hydralazine

Drug Details

Hydralazine is a medication primarily used to manage high blood pressure. It is usually considered when other blood pressure medications have not been effective. As a vasodilator, hydralazine works by relaxing the blood vessels, which helps to lower blood pressure. The dosage of hydralazine is individualized and often requires multiple doses throughout the day. Common side effects include headaches, stomach upset, and a rapid heartbeat. Hydralazine is available as a more affordable generic tablet and does not have a brand-name equivalent. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting or changing your medication regimen.
