Adults: 1 gram intravenously every 24 hours. For severe infections, 1 gram every 12 hours may be used.
Intravenous: 100 mg hydralazine hydrochloride (equivalent to 80.5 mg hydralazine base) administered over 30 minutes, every 6 hours as needed, for a maximum of 48 hours. Oral: 10–50 mg every 6 hours, adjusted based on response.

Terminal elimination half-life is 8-12 hours in adults with normal renal function, allowing twice-daily dosing.
Terminal elimination half-life: 1.2-2.5 hours; clinically, dose adjustments needed in hepatic impairment due to prolonged clearance
Renal elimination of unchanged drug accounts for approximately 60-70% of the dose; biliary excretion contributes about 20-25%, with the remainder eliminated via feces.
Renal: >90% as unconjugated and conjugated metabolites; biliary/fecal: <10%
