Hydroxyurea Medication and Anorexia

Hello & thanks for sharing your father’s story. I am taking 500 mg hydroxyurea a day for high platelets pending a bone marrow biopsy next week. Have been taking it for about a month.
I’m usually always hungry. But lately I have to force myself to eat. I only weigh around 104, so really can’t afford to lose much weight. Of course not having an appetite is alarming to me.
Prayers for your father & please let his Dr know of this side effect! Insist on an alternative, if available.

God bless you and prayers to you for next week! Not sure if the Hydro is causing the anorexia, but I’m sure going to find out.
My father has always been skinny, but now it’s getting out of hand.
Thank you for your insight! 🤗
