Hydralazine
Hydralazine relaxes arterial blood vessels and is used in selected blood-pressure or heart-failure regimens. It can cause a fast pulse, fluid retention and lupus-like illness. Listed uses include hypertension and heart failure.
Key points
- Hydralazine is often combined with other medicines rather than used as a stand-alone heart-failure treatment.
- Headache, flushing and palpitations can reflect rapid vasodilation.
- Persistent fever, joint pain, rash or chest pain can indicate a drug-induced lupus-like reaction.
