Hydralazine (Cat.No:I028959) is an antihypertensive medication that relaxes and dilates blood vessels, thereby reducing blood pressure. It is commonly used to treat hypertension and heart failure. Hydralazine works by directly relaxing the smooth muscles in the blood vessel walls, resulting in increased blood flow and decreased vascular resistance.
