APRESOLINE 20MG/ML 10X1ML

Apresoline 20mg/ml (10x1ml) is an injectable medication that contains the active ingredient hydralazine, which is a vasodilator. It is used to treat severe hypertension (high blood pressure), particularly in emergency situations such as hypertensive crises, and in cases where oral antihypertensive medications are not effective or appropriate.

Hydralazine works by relaxing the muscles in the walls of blood vessels, particularly the arteries, causing them to widen (dilate). This dilation helps to lower blood pressure by allowing blood to flow more easily through the vessels.

The "20mg/ml" indicates the concentration of hydralazine in the solution, and "10x1ml" means that the package contains ten 1ml ampoules, each containing 20mg of hydralazine. The medication is typically administered by a healthcare professional, either as an intravenous injection or infusion, depending on the specific clinical situation. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is essential while using Apresoline to ensure effective control of hypertension and to avoid potential side effects.
