Oxyurea (Hydroxyurea) 500mg – 30 Capsules
Specialist Therapy for Sickle Cell Disease & Blood Disorders
Oxyurea 500mg contains hydroxyurea, a prescription medication used in the management of sickle cell disease and certain blood disorders. It works by reducing the production of abnormal blood cells and slowing the growth of rapidly dividing cells.
In patients with sickle cell disease, hydroxyurea helps increase fetal haemoglobin levels, reducing the frequency of painful crises, hospitalisations, and other complications. It is also used in the treatment of specific myeloproliferative conditions such as polycythaemia vera and chronic myeloid leukaemia.
Because hydroxyurea affects bone marrow function, treatment requires regular laboratory monitoring to ensure safety and effectiveness.
