Overview

Xromi is a medicine used in adults, adolescents and children over two years of age who have sickle cell disease, a genetic disease where the red blood cells become rigid and sticky, and change from being disc-shaped to being crescent-shaped (like a sickle). Xromi is used to prevent so-called vaso-occlusive complications – problems that happen when blood vessels become blocked by the abnormal red blood cells, restricting the flow of blood to parts of the body.

Xromi is a ‘hybrid medicine’. This means that it is similar to a ‘reference medicine’ containing the same active substance, but is given as a liquid to be swallowed rather than as capsules and is authorised for different uses. The reference medicine for Xromi is Hydrea.

The active substance in Xromi is hydroxycarbamide.
