Overview

Only product, safety and handling information is published here. Anything beyond that is explained to you directly by your doctor or pharmacist as part of your consultation.

Directions for Use

Take DHNP Hydroxyurea 500mg Capsule capsules exactly as directed by your specialist, usually with a full glass of water, and maintain good fluid intake unless your doctor advises otherwise. Do not open, crush, or chew the capsules; if a caregiver needs to handle this medicine, gloves should be worn as it can be harmful with repeated skin contact. Attend all scheduled blood tests, as these are essential to monitor safety.

Dosage

The dose of DHNP Hydroxyurea 500mg Capsule is individualised by a specialist based on your condition, body weight, and regular blood count monitoring, and is adjusted according to your response and blood cell counts. Never adjust your dose or duration of treatment on your own – this medicine requires ongoing specialist supervision with scheduled blood tests throughout treatment.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
