Hydralazine Hydrochloride 20mg/ml Injection
Hydralazine Hydrochloride Injection is a fast-acting prescription antihypertensive medication used to rapidly lower dangerously high blood pressure (hypertensive crises) in clinical settings. It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood and reducing the risk of complications from severe hypertension.
This injectable form is typically administered by a healthcare professional via intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) injection in hospitals, emergency departments, or other supervised care environments — especially in urgent situations where oral medication is not suitable.
