What is droxia?

“Droxia” is a brand name for hydroxyurea (used as an antineoplastic/chemotherapy medicine).

What it’s used for

• Sickle cell disease (to reduce the frequency of painful crises)
• Certain blood cancers/myeloproliferative disorders (e.g., polycythemia vera, some cases of essential thrombocythemia, and other conditions as determined by a clinician)

If you tell me the context you saw it in (sickle cell vs. blood disorder), I can explain the specific use, typical dosing approach, and key side effects/precautions.
