Hi, I’ve Been On Hydroxyurea Since Age 1, I Am
Question: Hi, I’ve been on Hydroxyurea since age 1, I am on 500-1000 mg a day alternating. I am wondering about the risk of passing the med on to my boyfriend via sex. Should we use condoms? I am a female. Thanks!
Brief Answer:
No
Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma’am, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but there is no need to worry as hydroxyurea is excreted in urine and stools but not in vaginal fluid. I hope you find this helpful. If you don’t have any other clarifications then please close the discussion
