For patients who are diagnosed as slow acetylators, the dosage of hydralazine should be:
 
  1. decreased to avoid drug accumulation.
  2. increased to assure that a therapeutic level has been achieved.
  3. unchanged because acetylation is not relevant to hydralazine.
  4. constant until the patient shows a lack of clinical effects from hydralazine.
