I did look into the research on this drug a few years back yet the side effects cause me to worry in trying this medication with Sickle Cell AS.

Thanks to Health unlocked,

My name is Samwel Ouma, Kenyan citizen. My son was diagnosed with sickle cell disease 7 years ago, now he is 11 yrs old, the boy has been on and off till this year October when he was admitted to Kenyatta hospital where he was now put HU. From then, now I can experience a very big difference in his General health.

My concern" the drug is not easy to get in Kenyan pharmacies. He was prescribed and have now gone to government pharmacies for many attempts in vain.

Plse advice on how I can source this drugs without difficulties.

Samwel.

I have heard that HU has many unfavorable side effects. Can someone elaborate on this?
