WHAT XROMI IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Xromi contains hydroxycarbamide, a substance which reduces the growth
and multiplication of some
cells in the bone marrow. These effects lead to a reduction of
circulating red, white and coagulation
blood cells. In Sickle Cell Disease, hydroxycarbamide also helps to
prevent red blood cells from
taking the abnormal sickle shape.
Sickle Cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects the
disc shaped red cells of the blood.
Some cells become abnormal, rigid and take a crescent or sickle shape
which leads to anaemia.
The sickle cells also get stuck in blood vessels, blocking blood flow.
This can cause acute pain crises
and organ damage.
Xromi is used to prevent the complications of blocked blood vessels
caused by Sickle Cell Disease in
patients over 2 years of age. Xromi will decrease the number of
painful crises as well as the need for
hospitalisation as a result of the disease.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Hydroxycarbamide treatment should be supervised by a physician or
other healthcare professionals
experienced in the management of patients with Sickle Cell Disease.
Posology
The posology should be based on the patient’s body weight (kg).
The usual starting dose of hydroxycarbamide is 15 mg/kg/day and usual
maintenance dose is between
20-25 mg/kg/day. The maximum dose is 35 mg/kg/day. Full blood cell
count with white cell
differential and reticulocyte count should be monitored once a month
for the first 2 months following
treatment initiation.
A target absolute neutrophil count 1,500 – 4,000 /μL should be
aimed for, whilst maintaining platelet
count > 80,000/μL. If neutropenia or thrombocytopenia occurs,
hydroxycarbamide dosing should be
temporarily withheld and full blood cell count with white cell
differential should be monitored weekly.
When blood counts have recovered, hydroxycarbamide should be
reinstated at a dose 5 mg/kg/day
lower than the dose given before onset of cytopenias.
If dose escalation is warranted based on clinical and laboratory
findings, the following steps should be
taken:
•
Dose to be increased by 5 mg/kg/day increments every 8 weeks
•
Increases in dose to be continued until mild myelosuppression
(absolute neutrophil count
1,500/ μL to 4,000/ μL) is achieved, up to a maximum of 35
mg/kg/day.
•
Full blood cell count with white cell differe
