  • Description

    Sickle cell disease is a genetically inherited blood disorder in which the red blood cells become rigid and turn into the shape of a sickle. This hinders the smooth circulation of blood, causes pain, and can put you at risk of organ damage. Droxia 500mg Generic Capsules are prescribed to individuals to treat various types of cancer and conditions like sickle cell disease. This medication contains Hydroxyurea as its active ingredient and promotes the production of fetal haemoglobin, which does not form sickle and rigid red blood cells. The increase in the level of fetal haemoglobin induces the red blood cells to be bigger in size, more flexible, which prevents them from turning into the shape of a sickle. This reduces the risk of damage to organs and blocked blood vessels. It also functions as an antimetabolite and assists in slowing down or stopping the growth of infected cancer cells. It does so by inhibiting the ribonucleotide reductase enzyme, which is fundamental for the synthesis of DNA.
