Hyperstat is a brand name for diazoxide, which, as we discussed, treats low blood sugar. More specifically, when referred to as Hyperstat, it's often the intravenous form used to treat severe high blood pressure (hypertension). It works by relaxing the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. Think of it like a pressure release valve for your circulatory system. It's typically used in emergency situations to quickly lower dangerously high blood pressure. It must be administered by a medical professional in a controlled environment.
