Hydroxyurea 500 mg Reviews

“I have used Hydroxyurea 500 mg Capsule for a few weeks and it dropped my white blood cells from 1 million to 7,00,000 straight. However, I only felt dizzier during my treatment period which normalized as I discontinued. As I haven’t used it a lot, this is all I have to say about my experience with this cancer medicine.”

“Hydroxyurea was prescribed along with many other medicines for treating my ET bone cancer. After using it for a year at 500mg twice a day, I’m now taking it at 500mg once per day. I have to use two extra doses per week which is a nominal dose for me now. No wonder it is highly effective in treating the underlying health conditions, it lowers my RBC count below normal sometimes. This causes extreme fatigue and I feel immobilized entirely. Overall, it is a safe drug. Just handle it carefully and according to your prescription only.”
