    Sickle Cell Anaemia
    I read on the internet that Hydroxy Urea is medicine in Sickle Cell Crisis relief. It seems not to be available in my country. How can I get hold of it?

    Hydroxyurea is only available through prescription, but not approved for use in many countries unless used for cancer treatment. It has been know to be used against sickle cell enemia, but not proven. Please speak to your doctor.
