User Comments about Hydralazine
05 Mar 2015 Horrible joint pain, to the point I could not stand or walk. Took my nephrologist to discover it was the med and immediately took me off of this. They say that the damage should not be permanent, but it's been 6 weeks and my hip is still very painful, although improved. VERY frustrating!!!

13 Oct 2014 I had acute renal failure in June after taking Inspra for my BP, after being released from a week in the hospital I was put on Hydralazine. After 4 months my BP is still often in the 180+/95+ range. The side effects are awful and I'm not sure I can continue to take it. I will be talking with my Nephrologist this week unless there is a sudden change...

19 Apr 2013 I wake up every morning with a headache. Blood pressure has been improved, however with the headaches, nausea, and diarheaa, I don't know if it is worth it.
