Q. What is Hydralazine? What is it used for?
Hydralazine belongs to a class of medicines known as potassium channel openers. It helps in the removal of potassium from the walls of arteries.

Q. Can I stop taking Hydralazine?
No, you should not stop taking Hydralazine without consulting your doctor. Suddenly stopping the medication may cause reoccurring of your anginal pain. It would be better to consult your doctor if you are experiencing any side effects.
Q. How long does it take Hydralazine to start working?
Hydralazine starts working after about an hour of taking the medicine. However, full benefits may be seen only after 4 to 5 days. Consult your doctor if you do not notice any significant improvement in your condition.
