WARNINGS

In a few patients, hydralazine may produce a clinical picture simulating systemic lupus erythematosus including glomerulonephritis. In such patients, hydralazine should be discontinued unless the benefit-to-risk determination requires continued antihypertensive therapy with this drug. Symptoms and signs usually regress when the drug is discontinued but residua have been detected many years later. Long-term treatment with steroids may be necessary (see PRECAUTIONS, Laboratory Tests).[1]
