Hydroxyurea: a proven drug against sickle cell disease

Hydroxyurea is an oral medication used to treat sickle cell disease and is recommended for most children and adults. It helps reduce painful crises and serious complications.

Taken once daily, hydroxyurea works by increasing fetal hemoglobin (HbF) levels, which helps maintain the flexibility of red blood cells and reduces the risk of sickle cell anemia. This results in improved blood flow and decreased vascular blockage.

In the long term, hydroxyurea can reduce hospitalizations, decrease the need for transfusions, and improve quality of life. Regular blood tests are necessary to ensure its safe and effective use.
