Reserpine, Dihydralazine

Reserpine-Dihydralazine is a combination medication that contains two active ingredients: Reserpine and Dihydralazine. Reserpine is an alkaloid derived from the Rauwolfia plant, and it is primarily used as an antihypertensive agent. Dihydralazine, on the other hand, is a hydralazine derivative and is also used to treat hypertension or high blood pressure.
The primary use of Reserpine-Dihydralazine is for the management of hypertension. Reserpine works by decreasing the blood pressure by reducing the volume of blood pumped by the heart. It also inhibits the release of norepinephrine, a hormone that causes blood vessels to narrow, leading to an increase in blood pressure. Dihydralazine, on the other hand, acts directly on the blood vessels, causing them to relax and widen, which subsequently reduces blood pressure.
Reserpine-Dihydralazine is usually prescribed when other treatments have failed or are not suitable for managing hypertension. Follow the prescribed dosage and schedule to achieve the desired therapeutic effect. This medication may cause side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, or changes in heart rate. Inform your healthcare provider if you experience any adverse reactions or if your condition worsens.
