Any suggestions on what time of day is best for taking Hydroxyurea?

What time of day has worked best for everyone taking hydroxyurea? Neither my doctor or pharmacy suggested a time of day that helps with any possible side effects. I'm supposed to start taking it this week. Google searches say before or after food or at bed time.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Blood Cancers & Disorders Support Group.

I take 500mg daily.
I was very tired taking HU in the a.m. so I tried after dinner.
No change - just as tired..🥱
My worst symptom is short of breath.
