HYDRALAZINE HYDROCHLORIDE W/ HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE 100/50 vs INDERIDE-80/25
Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Hydralazine: Direct vasodilation of arterioles via unknown mechanism, possibly involving nitric oxide. Hydrochlorothiazide: Thiazide diuretic that inhibits the Na+/Cl- cotransporter in the distal convoluted tubule, increasing excretion of sodium and water.
INDERIDE-80/25 is a combination of propranolol (a non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist) and hydrochlorothiazide (a thiazide diuretic). Propranolol blocks beta-1 and beta-2 adrenergic receptors, reducing heart rate, myocardial contractility, and renin release, thereby lowering blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide inhibits the sodium-chloride symporter in the distal convoluted tubule of the kidney, increasing excretion of sodium, chloride, and water, reducing plasma volume.
1 tablet (hydralazine 100 mg / hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg) orally once daily. Maximum: 1 tablet daily. Titrate from lower doses of individual components.
One tablet (80 mg propranolol/25 mg hydrochlorothiazide) orally twice daily.

Hydralazine: 2-8 hours (prolonged in renal impairment); Hydrochlorothiazide: 6-15 hours (increased in renal impairment)
Propranolol: 3-6 hours (single dose), prolonged with chronic dosing (up to 12 hours). Hydrochlorothiazide: 6-15 hours; prolonged in renal impairment.
Hydralazine: 90% renal metabolites, 10% feces; Hydrochlorothiazide: >95% renal (tubular secretion) as unchanged drug
Renal: 40% unchanged propranolol; 60% as metabolites. Biliary/fecal: minimal (less than 1%). Hydrochlorothiazide: renal 95% unchanged.
