Oxyurea (Hydroxyurea 500mg) Capsules

Indication:

Hydroxyurea is commonly used for the treatment of certain types of cancer, including chronic myelogenous leukemia, ovarian cancer, and certain types of skin cancer. It is also used in the management of sickle cell anemia to reduce the frequency of painful crises and the need for blood transfusions.

Dosage:

The dosage of hydroxyurea can vary depending on the condition being treated and individual patient factors. It is important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Typically, the starting dose for adults with cancer is around 20-30 mg/kg/day, taken orally in divided doses. For sickle cell anemia, the dosage is usually based on body weight and is adjusted to achieve the desired therapeutic effect.

It is crucial to take hydroxyurea exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider and not to adjust the dosage without consulting them. Additionally, regular monitoring of blood counts and other relevant parameters may be necessary during treatment with hydroxyurea.

As always, please consult with your healthcare provider for personalized medical advice and recommendations regarding the use of hydroxyurea for your specific condition.
