What Is Hydralazine 50mg?
Hydralazine is a prescription medication known as a vasodilator, meaning it works by relaxing the muscles in the walls of your blood vessels.

It is FDA-approved for essential hypertension and is often used together with other blood pressure medicines. Hydralazine is the generic form of the brand-name drug Apresoline and is taken as a tablet by mouth.
