Sunday morning medical thoughts:
Stop prescribing hydralazine
Insulin for type 2 diabetes should be like 3rd or 4th line
Losartan sucks and is usually inappropriately dosed.
Telmisartan is infinitely better.
We should draw screening ferritin levels for all women under age 50

Hydralazine and ATRA Target Breast Cancer Cells
A groundbreaking study has unveiled the promising therapeutic potential of combining hydralazine, a well-known antihypertensive agent, with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), a vitamin A derivative, to target and inhibit breast cancer cells. Published in the prestigious journal BMC Cancer, this investigation delves deep into the molecular interplay and biological pathways that dictate cancer cell survival and proliferation, revealing new avenues for treatment with minimized side effects.

Not joking!! This is the 2nd patient of mine with venous insufficiency where a local provider RXs hydralazine. This will be the second time I'll be stopping it and switching to something else.

I see quite a few expats in my clinic and those who are on Hydralazine are almost always from the US. I mean, WHY?

Hydranca strikes again. I just wonder whether we are missing a lot of hydralazine induced vasculitis here in our place. Hydralzine+- nitrate is such a big hit among our cardios. Or is there a race predeliction for this? 🤷

Just say no to hydralazine!!!
I mean seriously, there are so many other better options even for resistant hypertension, and if they're that resistant you need to be rolling out aldosteronism

I often see Hydralazine being prescribed as a first-line anti-HTN agent 🫣
📌 These are not first line and when used in treating resistant #hypertension, they may be added “only if” already on a BB (or bradycardic) and loop diuretic

Some people you had something in common with on twitter, but lost track during the transition. HYDRALAZINE IS AWFUL.

I did NOT know hydralazine and chlorothiazide were from the 1950s!
This is a fantastic table of all BP drug classes approval over time
