Hydralazine
別名: Apresoline, Alphapress, Bionobal, Cesoline, Hidral, Hydrapres, Hyperex, Hyperphen, Ipolina, Nepresol, Novo-Hylazin, Nu-Hydral, Rolazine, Slow-Apresoline, Supres
Hydralazine is a medication used to lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on your pet's heart, particularly if they have leaky heart valves. * **Strict Compliance**: It is crucial to give this medication exactly as prescribed by your veterinarian to maximize its benefits and avoid dangerous drops in blood pressure. * **What to Watch For**: Contact your veterinarian immediately if your pet becomes unusually lethargic, weak, depressed, or if they faint. These can be signs that their blood pressure has dropped too low (hypotension). * **Side Effects**: You may notice mild vomiting or diarrhea. If these persist, inform your vet. * **Diet**: Ask your veterinarian whether to give this medication with or without food, as food can affect how much drug is absorbed into your pet's system.
劑量必須由獸醫按你寵物的個別情況決定。切勿在沒有獸醫指導下給予人類藥物或其他寵物的處方藥。

給藥方式
可能的副作用
- Hypotension
- Weakness and lethargy
- Syncope (fainting)
- Reflex tachycardia
- Sodium and water retention
- GI distress (vomiting, diarrhea)
- Increased creatinine levels
- SLE-like syndrome (documented in humans, theoretical in animals)
- Lacrimation and conjunctivitis
- Peripheral neuritis
- Blood dyscrasias
- Urinary retention
- Constipation
- Severe hypotension
注意事項與禁忌
- Known hypersensitivity to hydralazine
- Coronary artery disease
- Hypovolemia
- Preexisting hypotension
- Hypovolaemia
- Hypotension
- Renal impairment
- Cerebral bleeding
- > **Dose Titration**: Doses must be titrated upwards carefully to avoid severe, life-threatening hypotension. * **Renal Disease**: Use with caution. Reduced renal blood flow can activate the RAAS and exacerbate renal injury; pretreatment with an ACE inhibitor and spironolactone is often advised. * **Intracerebral Bleeding**: Use with caution due to potential effects on cerebral blood flow. * **Autoimmune Disease**: Use cautiously in patients with preexisting autoimmune diseases, as an SLE-like syndrome has been documented in humans. * **Pregnancy**: FDA Category C (humans); Papich Class B (veterinary). Safe for use if used cautiously, but crosses the placenta. Excreted in milk but generally considered compatible with nursing.
藥物相互作用
- ACE-INHIBITORS: May cause additive hypotensive effect; usually used for therapeutic advantage
- BETA-BLOCKERS: May cause additive hypotensive effect; usually used for therapeutic advantage
- DIAZOXIDE: Potentially could cause profound hypotension
- DIURETICS: May cause additive hypotensive effect; usually used for therapeutic advantage
- FUROSEMIDE: Hydralazine may increase furosemide's renal effects
- MAO INHIBITORS: May cause additive hypotensive effect
- SYMPATHOMIMETICS (e.g., epinephrine): Hydralazine may cause decreased pressor effect and may cause additive tachycardia
- ACE inhibitors (e.g., enalapril, benazepril): Enhanced hypotensive effects
- Anaesthetics: Enhanced hypotensive effects
- Beta-blockers (e.g., propranolol): Enhanced hypotensive effects
- Calcium-channel blockers (e.g., diltiazem, verapamil): Enhanced hypotensive effects
