Hydroxyurea is a drug used to treat leukemia and iron transporter disorders. It reduces the growth and proliferation of abnormal cells by inhibiting DNA synthesis. This medicine may also be used to treat certain types of myelodysplastic disease. In Hong Kong, hydroxyurea is commonly used to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia, sideroportin disorders, and specific sideroportin disorders.
When using hydroxyurea, patients should use the drug strictly according to the doctor's instructions and do not adjust the dosage or stop using it on their own. During use, blood tests should be performed regularly to monitor treatment effects and possible side effects. Common side effects include anemia, nausea, vomiting, and mouth sores. If serious side effects occur, seek medical attention immediately.
Do not use hydroxyurea with other medicines unless approved by your doctor. During use, avoid contact with pregnant women or women planning to become pregnant. If you have any questions or discomfort, you should consult your doctor immediately.
Instructions for use: Please take this drug according to your physician's instructions. It is usually taken at a fixed time each day, on an empty stomach or with food. Do not adjust the dosage or stop using it on your own to avoid affecting the therapeutic effect. While taking it, avoid drinking alcoholic beverages and stay well hydrated.
Dosage Guidelines: The usual starting dose for adults is 15 mg/kg body weight per day, taken in divided doses. Physicians may adjust the dose according to individual circumstances, and the maximum dose does not exceed 35 mg/kg body weight per day. The dosage for children needs to be adjusted according to age and weight. The starting dosage is generally lower, and the doctor will make adjustments based on the condition and response. Please follow your physician's advice closely and perform regular medication monitoring to ensure safe and effective use.
