About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Hydrostat 500 Capsule: Hydroxyurea 500mg
Hydrostat 500 Capsules contain Hydroxyurea 500mg, a medication used to treat certain types of polycythemia vera. This condition occurs when the bone marrow produces too many red blood cells, leading to thickening of the blood and an increased risk of stroke. Hydroxyurea works by inhibiting the production of these excess red blood cells.
Before starting Hydrostat 500 Capsules, consult your doctor for proper dosage and guidance. This medication is not suitable for everyone. It may cause side effects like:
* Fatigue: Common with Hydroxyurea, potentially requiring adjustments to daily routines.
* Skin rash: May occur in some individuals.
* Headache: While generally mild and transient, reporting any concerns to your doctor is recommended.
Note: Always refer to your pharmacist or physician for personalized advice regarding treatment plans.

About Hydroxyurea
Hydroxyurea is an anticancer agent used to treat head and neck cancer and sickle cell anemia. It works by inhibiting an enzyme necessary for DNA synthesis, thereby preventing the growth of cancer cells. In sickle cell disease, it increases fetal hemoglobin levels, improving red blood cell shape and function. This drug plays a significant role in managing cancer and sickle cell disease. In summary, Hydroxyurea is effective in treating specific cancers and sickle cell anemia.
How It Works
Hydroxyurea inhibits ribonucleotide reductase, leading to decreased DNA synthesis and increased fetal hemoglobin production in sickle cell disease.
