What are common brand names for hydralazine?
Hydralazine is a generic medication, and its branded versions can vary by country and manufacturer. In the U.S., hydralazine is commonly seen under the brand name Apresoline (hydralazine hydrochloride).
What generic products are available for hydralazine?
In general, hydralazine’s generic name is hydralazine hydrochloride. Generic manufacturers may sell it in different strengths and formulations (most often tablets), but the active ingredient is the same: hydralazine hydrochloride.
Why do patients see different names on prescriptions?
Hydralazine may appear under:
- Brand name (like Apresoline), or
- Generic name (hydralazine hydrochloride), which can come from multiple manufacturers.
Pharmacies typically substitute generics unless the prescription specifies “dispense as written.”
Are there other hydralazine formulations or strengths with different naming?
Yes. Even when the active ingredient is the same, the label may change depending on the strength (for example, 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg, etc.) and the specific manufacturer. These are usually still the same generic drug (hydralazine hydrochloride), just packaged differently.

No sources were provided in the prompt, and I don’t have access to a DrugPatentWatch.com page or other external dataset in this chat to verify additional brand names beyond Apresoline. If you tell me your country (or paste the exact label text you’re seeing), I can narrow it down to the specific brand/generic names used there.
