How long does Hydralazine Hydrochloride stay in your body?

The elimination half-life of hydralazine hydrochloride is about 3 to 7 hours — the time it takes the body to clear about half of it. As a rule of thumb, a medicine is mostly gone after roughly 4 to 5 half-lives, though this varies from person to person with age and kidney or liver function. The FDA label states plasma levels of hydralazine decline with a half-life of 3 to 7 hours; the range partly reflects genetically determined (polymorphic) acetylation — slow acetylators reach higher plasma concentrations and clear it more slowly than fast acetylators. Hydralazine is cleared by extensive hepatic metabolism with its metabolites excreted in urine, so the half-life is prolonged in people with liver impairment or advanced kidney disease (lower doses are advised). It is not a prodrug and has no active metabolite that clinically outlasts the parent drug.

It doesn’t tell you when a drug test would read negative (tests detect substances for different, often longer, windows) or when it’s safe to take another dose — ask your pharmacist or prescriber.

What IS published is what the pharmacy paid to acquire it: about $1.11 for 30, per the CMS NADAC survey. Treat that as the floor, not the quote — ask the pharmacist for the cash price as well as your copay, because for cheap generics the cash price often wins.
