Hydralazine Inj

Hydralazine Inj Uses

Hydralazine injection is used with or without other medications to treat high blood pressure. It may also be used in an emergency to treat dangerously high blood pressure. This medication may be used when medications cannot be taken by mouth. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Hydralazine is called a vasodilator and works by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily.
