You ask an interesting question--why would we want to poison ourselves with some blue and green dye? I have not started taking my Hydroxyurea yet, and did not look at the medication yet. I did not start my meds yet because I too am a bit concerned about the side effects, and also, I have never had anything 'wrong' with me, and never even take an aspirin, so this diagnosis plus the drugs to take for treatment are a bit of a shock. I am very health conscious and never consume anything that has a dye in it. I'm wondering why you cannot have it compounded or put in a different capsule at a compounding pharmacy. I would love to know if and how you resolve this.
