Benefits

Head and neck cancer / Sickle cell anemiaHead and neck cancer / Sickle cell anemia

In Head and neck cancer Head and neck cancer includes cancer of the mouth, nose, sinuses or throat.

In Sickle cell anemia Sickle cell anemia is a disorder of the red blood cells (RBCs) in which they lose their original round shape and flexibility, turn sickle shape and eventually die out. Hydrosar Capsule makes your red blood cells bigger. It helps them stay rounder and more flexible and makes them less likely to turn into a sickle shape. The medicine does this by increasing a special kind of hemoglobin called hemoglobin F. Hemoglobin F is also called fetal hemoglobin because newborn babies have it.

How it works

In cancer, Hydrosar Capsule works by blocking an enzyme (ribonucleotide reductase) which is required for synthesis of DNA. This prevents the cancer cells from growing and multiplying. In sickle cell disease, it works by increasing fetal haemoglobin (Hb F) levels in red blood cells (RBCs). This helps the RBCs assume a normal shape, improves blood flow and protects against complications such as painful sickle cell episodes.In cancer, Hydrosar Capsule works by blocking an enzyme (ribonucleotide reductase) which is required for synthesis of DNA.
