What Is Hydralazine 10mg?

Hydralazine is a prescription medication known as a direct-acting vasodilator. It works by relaxing the smooth muscle in the walls of blood vessels, which widens the vessels and lowers blood pressure.

It is available as an oral tablet, including the 10mg strength, and is taken as directed by your healthcare provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is hydralazine used for?

Hydralazine is FDA-approved to treat essential hypertension (high blood pressure), typically in combination with other blood pressure medications. Providers may also prescribe it with nitrates for certain patients with heart failure. Always use it exactly as your prescriber directs.

Do I need a prescription for hydralazine?

Yes. Hydralazine is a prescription-only medication in the United States. A licensed healthcare provider must evaluate you and issue a valid prescription before a pharmacy can dispense it.

How does hydralazine work?

Hydralazine is a direct-acting vasodilator that relaxes the smooth muscle in artery walls. This widens the blood vessels, reduces resistance to blood flow, and lowers blood pressure.

How do I order hydralazine and how does shipping work?

Submit your prescription or have your provider send it to our pharmacy. A licensed pharmacist reviews every order before it ships from our licensed U.S. pharmacy, and orders are delivered in discreet packaging to your address.

How long does it take hydralazine to lower blood pressure?

Oral hydralazine typically begins working within about an hour, but your provider may adjust the dose over the first weeks to find the right maintenance level. Do not change your dose or stop taking it without talking to your prescriber.

What are the most common side effects of hydralazine?

Common side effects include headache, dizziness, flushing, fast heartbeat, and nausea. Contact your provider promptly if you experience chest pain, joint pain with fever or rash, or numbness and tingling, as these may need medical attention.

Can I take hydralazine with my other blood pressure medications?

Hydralazine is often prescribed alongside other antihypertensives, but combinations can strengthen blood-pressure-lowering effects. Share your complete medication list with your provider and pharmacist so they can check for interactions.
