Who makes hydroxyurea?

Who manufactures hydroxyurea in the US?

Hydroxyurea is made by multiple companies as a generic medicine. Because hydroxyurea is widely available and versions vary by strength and dosage form (for example, capsules), the “who makes it” depends on the specific product you see at the pharmacy.

How can you tell which company made the hydroxyurea you’re prescribed?

Check the label for the manufacturer (often listed as the “manufacturer” or “labeled by” company) and match that to the drug’s strength and dosage form. The National Drug Code (NDC) number on the package can also be used to identify the specific product.

Is hydroxyurea brand-only or generic?

Hydroxyurea is available as generic products from different manufacturers, rather than coming from a single company.

Can patent data help identify the original maker?
