Hydrea (hydroxyurea): Haven't been hospitalized since I started taking it. But I did gain a little weight.

hydroxyurea: I've been taking this medicine for about six weeks or so and the problem so far has been that my nail beds are turning black. A little freaked out right now but surprisingly I've been feeling a lot better.

Hydrea (hydroxyurea): Hydroxyurea significantly improves the frequency of sickle cell crisis, but it has a long list of adverse effects. But if the dose is monitored properly and complete blood count of patient is done on regular basis, than some of the adverse effects can be easily identified and managed accordingly.
