Xromi
HYDROXYUREA prevents the symptoms of sickle cell disease, such as pain crises and acute chest syndrome. It may also reduce the need for blood transfusions. It works by keeping red blood cells round and flexible, which prevents blood cells from clumping together. This also increases blood flow and the amount of oxygen that gets to your tissues.
The lowest GoodRx price for the most common version of Xromi is around $759.84, 14% off the average retail price of $891.32. Compare antimetabolites.
