Is itching a normal side effect when taking Hydroxyurea?

Posted by sanlee7 @sanlee7, May 23 6:46am

I have a platelet count of over 1 million and have been on Hydrox for 10 days but I am having itching almost all the time …..I am on 500mg once a day. I don’t what to expect as I continue with this med.

Thankful for all of your input!! After 3 weeks of 500mg once a day my count has dropped from 1 million to 750…thank you Jesus!! The itching has slowed down and Benadryl did help.
