What is Hydralazine and What is it Used For:
Hydralazine is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It works by relaxing the blood vessels, which allows blood to flow more easily through them and lowers blood pressure. This medication is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat hypertension.
How to Take Hydralazine:
Hydralazine is taken orally, with or without food. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. It is important to take the medication at the same time every day to maintain a consistent level of the medication in the body.
Possible Side Effects of Hydralazine:
Hydralazine may cause some side effects, including:
- Headache
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Flushing (warmth, redness, or tingly feeling under your skin)
- Sweating
- Nasal congestion or a runny nose
- Insomnia (difficulty sleeping)
- Muscle or joint pain
- Changes in appetite or weight
These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if they persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Precautions and Warnings for Hydralazine:
Before taking Hydralazine, inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions, such as heart disease or kidney disease. Hydralazine may interact with certain medications, so it is important to inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you are taking.
Hydralazine may cause a decrease in blood pressure, which can lead to dizziness or fainting. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the medication affects you. Hydralazine may also cause an increase in heart rate or heart palpitations, which can be serious in some cases.
Hydralazine is a prescription medication and should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Do not stop taking Hydralazine without consulting your doctor first, as suddenly stopping the medication may cause a rapid increase in blood pressure.
