Just started hydroxurea and I have a question. Is 500mg x4 with breakfast a high dose. I asked my hematologist if I could start on 1000mg. She said ok and then we could gradually raise it.

Good for you, taking this question to your hematologist.

For me, starting HU at a low dose was really helpful. I feel it allowed my system to adjust, saving me from any side effects.

Especially in the first year, most of us have had our dosage adjusted. That's how we find what works.

Taking four 500 mg Hydroxyurea at breakfast seems like an extremely high dose. It seems a good percentage only take one,
