Dihydralazine

Dihydralazine is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called antihypertensives, specifically vasodilators. Its primary function is to lower high blood pressure, which is a common condition affecting a significant number of people worldwide.
Dihydralazine works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, leading to a decrease in the overall resistance the heart has to overcome in order to pump blood. This, in turn, reduces the pressure exerted on the vessel walls, leading to a drop in blood pressure.
Dihydralazine is typically used in patients who have not experienced adequate blood pressure control with other medications or in those who have specific medical conditions that make alternative treatments unsuitable. It is often prescribed as an adjunct to other antihypertensive agents to achieve better control of high blood pressure.
The use of dihydralazine may be associated with some side effects, including headache, dizziness, nausea, and flushing. Consult with a healthcare professional before starting or stopping any medication, especially if you have pre-existing medical conditions or are currently taking other medications.
