Hydrea (active ingredient: hydroxyurea) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:
Hydrea belongs to a class of drugs known as antimetabolites, which work by inhibiting the synthesis of DNA and interfering with the growth and replication of rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells and abnormal blood cells in myeloproliferative disorders.
Hydroxyurea comes as a capsule to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day, with a glass of water. When hydroxyurea is used to treat certain types of cancer, it may be taken once every third day. Swallow hydroxyurea capsules whole; do not split, chew, or crush them. Doing so could affect how the medication is absorbed and may lead to decreased effectiveness. Make sure to take hydroxyurea at around the same time each day and follow the directions on your prescription label carefully. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
The recommended dosage of hydroxyurea is 15 mg per kg of body weight taken once daily. For example, a person weighing 67 kg (about 147 pounds) would take 1,000 mg of hydroxyurea once a day. The dose can be increased by 5 mg/kg/day every 12 weeks, as long as the patient’s blood count remains stable. Prophylactic administration of folic acid is recommended to reduce the risk of certain side effects.
Hydrea (Hydroxyurea) is available in the following forms and strengths:
Hydroxyurea is classified as a Pregnancy Category D drug, meaning it may cause harm to a developing fetus. Women should not take hydroxyurea during pregnancy unless the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks.
Hydroxyurea usually starts to work within a few days to a few weeks. However, it may take several months for the full effects of the medication to be seen.
Hydroxyurea is usually taken once a day with food. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions and take the medication exactly as prescribed.
It is not recommended to drink alcohol while taking hydroxyurea.
The effects of hydroxyurea may take several weeks to become noticeable. Your doctor can monitor your progress and adjust the dosage if needed.
