User Reviews for hydralazine oral

As a lupus patient this medication caused a severe flare-up of bone, joint, and muscle pain (particularly in my legs), as well as major swelling in my hands and feet. BP increased on this medication. Required increasing Prednisone and Tramadol to deal with symptoms. Not good! Stopped taking hydralazine after 3 days.

I have IBS and also have low blood pressure.This drug was prescribed to treat my IBS

I have alot of shortness of breath and since this can be a side effect I have about decided to start taking 1/2 of my usual dosage and see if I can tell a dfference

This drug taken 3 times daily (25mg) for about 18 months for high blood pressure and CHF. After about 12 months developed lupus symptoms which grew worse with time, and severely impacted my general health. Afer stopping the drug my health has improved and I am nearly back to normal. Take this drug at your peril.

I have been taking this med for 1 month, side effects, Joint pain, feet pain , cough, lupus like systoms, swollen legs. don't like this drug

Dr. prescribed this drug and two others for CHF. After approx 12 mos Lupus like symptoms, joint and muscle pain, diziness, loss of balance. Dr. discontinued 6 days ago, and have greatly improved. My advice: Watch this medecine closely.

Worst headache I've ever experienced. BP registered 187/120; pulse 117. Thought I was dieing. I took Tylenol for the pain and cried myself to sleep. Praying the whole time for GOD to take the pain away!!! BP is now 133/78 but still getting the headaches along with srthritis syptoms. Will not continue to take this med. Would rather deal with the drowsiness of clonedine.

I have been on this medication for 2 weeks with every symptom mentioned and then some. gotten over the worst part which were the headaches. With the help of advil. This medication takes a lot out of me as I have no urge to do anything. My stomach bloats up twice as much, even though I have not the urge to eat like I used to. stuffy noses, dry mouth and heart pounding are an every day thing.I do not like this drug however my options are limited.

my heart rate went to 96-102 (Pulse rate) I could hear my heart beating so loud I could not sleep, I mean Thump Thump Thump,

I took this drug with others for over year to keep my VERY high blood pressure under control. Then I developed Hydralazine induced Lupus, all my joints became swollen and painful. I couldn't move! Now I'm on steriods to reduce the pain and swelling. Doc says I should fully recover.

When I first took it I had really bad headachs and got over that but then after 3 or more years of being on it I began to feel achey all over. My muscles started to hurt so bad I couldn't do anything. I had may of the symtems that are mentioned here. I went and saw another doctor and thank God he had the same thing happen to him. He took me off hydralazine and put me on another med in place of it. He also percribed prednisone and started to feel better within a few hours. I have been off hydralazine since November 7, 2008 and feel good. No more pain after about 3 days and have felt great since then. The doctor told me he knew of 2 cases his and mine. I had many test done to see what was wrong with me and here it was just the medication hydralazine. I hope that if anyone has this happen to them that they talk to their doctor that it may just be the hydralazine. Hope this helps anyone out ther that may be expereincing the same thing as I didRead More Read Less

every time I take this medication it makes my ears pop like at high altitude. Pain in the joints in my fingers.

One of 5 drugs for HBP. 3 pills per day, but it seems to work. No side effects.

Blood pressure is under control, no side effects.

After about 6 weeks I,ve developed a severe headache, muscle and joint pain in my knees, wrists and fingers. I am now gradually stopping medication and hope that sysmptoms will disappear. Doctor said that it can cause Lupus like symptoms.
