Hydralazine Prescription Online

Hydralazine - Overview

Hydralazine is a medication that is sometimes prescribed to people who need treatment for high blood pressure . Push Health can connect people who need a hydralazine prescription with licensed medical providers who can prescribe hydralazine HCl medication, including hydralazine 25 mg and hydralazine 50 mg tablets, when appropriate to do so.

Hydralazine - Mechanism of Action

Hydralazine hydrochloride was previously marketed under the names Apresoline and Dralzine and is used in the management of essential hypertension (high blood pressure). Hydralazine's mechanism of action in lowering blood pressure is thought to be related to dilating the blood vessels through altering calcium metabolism, resulting in a relaxation effect on vascular smooth muscle. This peripheral vasodilation also increases the output of the heart and hydralazine medication may, at times, also increase renal blood flow and blood flow to the brain.

Hydralazine - Dosage and Cost

Hydralazine hydrochloride is, by itself, a white to off-white crystalline powder that is soluble in water. After being taken orally, hydralazine reaches peak plasma levels within 2 hours and has a half life of up to 7 hours. After being largely metabolized in the liver, hydralazine is mostly excreted in the urine. When administered with food, hydralazine may reach higher levels in the plasma. Hydralazine is typically available as hydralazine HCl 10 mg, hydralazine HCl 25 mg, hydralazine HCl 50 mg and hydralazine HCl 100 mg tablets. Hydralazine tablets should not be stored above 30° C. Many regimens start with hydralazine 10 mg four times daily. Hydralazine is very affordable at under 30 cents per pill at most pharmacies.
