Hydroxyurea capsules (Hydrea, oncology) - selected U.S. label sections
- Product / population
- HYDREA oncology capsules only. Not a SIKLOS or DROXIA sickle-cell dosing protocol.
- Renal measure
- Creatinine clearance in mL/min
Selected renal sections only, not a complete monograph. Exact product, indication, patient population, renal method and all other contraindications/interactions remain controlling.
Second independent renal reference and clinician adjudication remain pending; no all-indication, dialysis or pediatric dose may be inferred from an omitted field.
Initial renal dosing
| CrCl | Initial oral dose |
|---|---|
| 60 mL/min or higher | 15 mg/kg once daily |
| Below 60 mL/min or ESRD | 7.5 mg/kg once daily |
This is a 50% initial-dose reduction. On hemodialysis days, give the dose after dialysis.
Monitoring and scope
Monitor hematologic parameters closely and adjust treatment for marrow suppression. The renal table does not replace indication-specific duration, weight selection or subsequent toxicity adjustments in the full label.
