In what situations would Chlorambucil still be used?
I've just heard of a patient is the U S a a major hospital, with good insurance being started on chlorambucil to treat CLL. I know he has kidney issues from the CLL. I'm just wondering why they wouldn't use one of the newer drugs? john

Ruxolitinib and Covid-19 - Trial
The Times has an article today regarding a trial in London. I remember there was a post here - ? April - saying it was one of the many drugs being looked at, but I certainly hadn't seen anything else since. I imagine those of us who are on it will wonder whether that might already be a benefit to us

Hydroxyurea and Zoloft
Hi everyone, Has anyone experienced using hydroxyurea with Zoloft ? Does it have any interaction? My mom is going through anxiety due to some family problems and I was thinking it would be beneficial for her to start using Zoloft to lower her stress level but I’m not sure if it can have any side effect
