HU pills sticking together: What do you do?

Posted by dragonflylynda @dragonflylynda, Jan 16 10:00pm

My pills stick together in the bottle, I have never had this problem with other drugs. It’s annoying because I don’t want to touch them. I shake one into the cap, now I can’t 😣

I had this problem with HU caps in pill box for travel. No more using pill box, I keep old rx bottle with "moisture absorb thing" and it keeps them safe......if moisture absorb thing not in original bottle, ask pharmacist for some......

I am wondering why it is dangerous to touch a hydroxyurea pill when we put it into our mouth and ingest it every day. I can see how a caution for someone not taking this pill may be in order. I put my hydroxyurea along with my other daily pills in a weekly pill holders. I have been taking hydroxyurea for 8 years. I touch them like all my other pills. I have never had any diverse effects. I never allow anyone else to touch them out of caution.

Same for me, and also since 2018
Just wash hands after taking
