What the Health Canada label says it is for
1. Indications
APO-HYDRALAZINE (hydralazine hydrochloride tablets) is indicated for:
Treatment of essential hypertension. It is used in conjunction with other antihypertensives such as
beta-blockers and diuretics.
1.1. Pediatrics
Pediatrics (<18 years of age): Based on the data submitted and reviewed by Health Canada, the safety
and efficacy of APO-HYDRALAZINE in pediatric patients has not been established; therefore, Health
Canada has not authorized an indication for pediatric use. See 7.1.3 Pediatrics.
1.2. Geriatrics
Geriatrics (>65 years of age): Evidence from clinical studies and experience suggests that use in the
geriatric population is associated with differences in safety or effectiveness. See 4.2 Recommended Dose
and Dosage Adjustment and 7.1.4 Geriatrics.

Other review policies
For Apresoline: no applicable EAP criteria are held and no ODB benefit is established. These policies do not establish coverage.
For rare, immediately life-, limb- or organ-threatening circumstances, the Compassionate Review Policy may consider an unfunded drug or indication, subject to its criteria and without bypassing the drug review process. Compassionate Review Policy
Compassionate Review Policy: source quote
Where there are rare clinical circumstances in immediately life, limb, or organ-threatening conditions, the Executive Officer will also consider requests for drugs or indications in situations where there has not been a decision by the Executive Officer to provide funding of the drug or indication as part of the Ontario Drug Benefit program (and the EAP), and the drug or indication requested would not circumvent the established review process for new drugs or indications as part of the drug submission process for listing within the Ontario Drug Benefit program. Requests must meet the criteria for the Compassionate Review Policy.
For cancer drugs, Case-by-Case Review considers rare, immediately life-threatening circumstances when no satisfactory funded treatment exists; its criteria and application process apply. Case-by-Case Review (cancer drugs)
Case-by-Case Review (cancer drugs): source quote
Note: Requests for cancer drugs are considered under the Case-by-Case Review Program (CBCRP) which is administered by Ontario Health (Cancer Care Ontario) on behalf of the Ministry of Health. The CBCRP considers funding requests for drugs (both oral therapies and injectable drugs) for the treatment of cancer in patients who have a rare clinical circumstance that is immediately life-threatening (death is likely within a matter of months) and who require treatment with an unfunded drug, because there is no other satisfactory and funded treatment. Please refer to the Ontario Health website for information on the application process, FAQs, eligibility criteria and program policies.
