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, Hytas 1000mg Capsule works by blocking an enzyme (ribonucleotide reductase) which is required for synthesis of DNA.
