Hydrostat 500 Capsule 10's is used to treat head and neck cancer and sickle cell anaemia (blocking the flow of blood that causes pain and organ damage). It works by blocking an enzyme that is required for growing cells. This prevents the cancer cells from multiplying and growing. In sickle cell disease, it works by increasing fetal haemoglobin (HbF) (haemoglobin of the unborn baby) levels in red blood cells (RBCs). This helps the RBCs accept a normal shape, restores the flow of blood, and protects against problems like painful sickle cell attacks. It may cause side effects such as loss of appetite (feeling unwell and stomach upset), increased bleeding tendency, nausea, upset stomach, and vomiting.
