📋Overview
Hydroxyurea is a medication that affects the growth of certain cells in the body, particularly those involved in blood formation. It is commonly associated with conditions such as sickle cell disease and some types of cancers, including chronic myeloid leukemia. By interfering with DNA synthesis, hydroxyurea helps manage abnormal cell proliferation. Its use is often linked to disorders where controlling blood cell production is important.
