I am using unidrea 500 mg alternate days one tablet after dinner. I am recently married and I am now planning for a child. Is there any alternative to unidrea because I read on internet that it effect baby. My platelets continue to increase beyond the normal range so doctor prescribed unidrea 500 mg daily but I am taking alternative days.

Happy afternoon ma'am the drug hydroxyurea belongs to fda category d, hence it is contraindicated during pregnancy, but the exact diagnosis of the condition is required to make any changes in the medications. Thank you.
