Hi Andyross and welcome to the site

Thanks for sharing your expierence and i am really very interested in how a very small dose of hydroxyurea can be effective.  My son too is on hydroxyurea. He is on a 15mg / kilo dose.

He is also taking vitamin E and L-carnitine.

I believe that the stomach discomfort is from the hydroxy, we had similar expierence but we shifted the hydroxy right before bed time and had no problem later on

Manal,

Pay special attention to the magnesium dosage involved. This seems very significant in terms of result.

I have found this link about the therapy I'm having.
It's a little long text but very interesting I guess.

Manal:
Yes Andy, i am trying to find a brand that would give him an appropriate dose. I guess the one in osteocare is not enough, what do you think??? Ahmad is 22.5 kilos

Andy Battaglia:
Manal,

Check this one from Osteocare. 4 teaspoons daily would provide another 300 mg of magnesium. This is a well thought out mix of nutrients in this supplement. http://www.vitabiotics.com/osteocare/liquid_formula.aspx
