Question 1

How many brands of Hydroxyurea are registered in Nigeria?

Accepted Answer

We list 7 Hydroxyurea products from the NAFDAC Greenbook — Nigeria's official register of approved products — of which 4 have a currently active registration. They are produced by manufacturers including Bond Chemical Industries, Novartis Nigeria, Uche St. Pharmaceutical. Combination products, and registrations the Greenbook currently lists as inactive, are clearly marked — Greenbook listings can lag renewals, so always confirm the number printed on the pack. Because it is drawn from the live register, this is far more complete than a typical brand list.

Question 2

Who manufactures Hydroxyurea in Nigeria?

Accepted Answer

2 companies hold active Hydroxyurea registrations in the NAFDAC Greenbook. The 2 with the most active listings are Novartis Nigeria, Bond Chemical Industries. The "applicant" recorded in the Greenbook is the registration holder — usually the manufacturer or its Nigerian representative — and the full table above shows the applicant for every registered product.

Question 3

Are all these Hydroxyurea brands genuine?

Accepted Answer

Each brand here holds a NAFDAC registration in the Greenbook. However, counterfeiters sometimes copy a genuine NAFDAC number onto a fake product, so always confirm that the brand, manufacturer (applicant), and strength printed on the pack match the record before you buy, and purchase only from licensed pharmacies.

Question 4

How much do Hydroxyurea brands cost in Nigeria?

Accepted Answer

Hydroxyurea brand prices in Nigeria vary by brand, strength, and where you buy it — imported brands are often more expensive than locally manufactured ones. Confirm the current price with a licensed pharmacy, and see the price guide on the main Hydroxyurea page.
