Common side effects of Hydroxyurea may include:

• Shortness of breath or chest pain

Precautions:

• Medical Supervision: Use Hydroxyurea only under the supervision of a healthcare professional due to its potential for serious side effects.
• Blood Monitoring: Regular blood tests are required to monitor blood cell counts and organ function during treatment.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Hydroxyurea can harm an unborn baby, so it should not be used during pregnancy unless clearly needed. Women of childbearing age should use effective contraception. Breastfeeding is not recommended while taking Hydroxyurea.
• Infection Risk: Because Hydroxyurea can lower white blood cell counts, there is an increased risk of infections. Report any signs of infection, such as fever or sore throat, to your doctor immediately.
