Expert Solution
Step 1

Bidil is a heart failure medication that combines two drugs: hydralazine and isosorbide dinitrate.

It has been used in combination with other therapies to treat heart failure.

Vasodilators refer to both medicines.

They function by relaxing and enlarging blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow to the heart.
