Can one drink alcohol while taking hydroxyurea ?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, but...: In moderation, there should be no interaction between alcohol and hydroxyurea. If you take Hydroxyurea for sickle cell anemia, you should be careful with alcohol because alcohol can lead to dehydration which can precipitate a sickle crisis.

No: Alcohol is a poison that never did anybody any good, ever, so stay away from it.
