2.How Hydralazine HCL works? www.aasraw.com High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. Lowering blood pressure can decrease the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Hydralazine works by relaxing the blood vessels and increasing the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart while reducing its workload. It isn't fully understood how hydralazine works. It's thought that the drug acts on the blood vessels directly and relaxes them. This results in lower blood pressure levels. Hydralazine belongs to a class of drugs called peripheral vasodilators. A class of drugs is a group of medications that work in a similar way. These drugs are often used to treat similar conditions. Hydralazine is a vasodilator that works by relaxing the muscles in your blood vessels to help them dilate (widen). This lowers blood pressure and allows blood to flow more easily through your veins and arteries. 3.Hydralazine HCL Dosage Take this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take it in larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.

Do not miss any scheduled appointments. Keep using hydralazine as directed, even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms, so you may not know when your blood pressure is high. You may need to use blood pressure medication for the rest of your life. Store hydralazine at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
