Does anyone know if the time of day they take Hydrea makes a difference in blood results? Or whether or not they take both capsules at the same time. I see some people take them in divided doses. I take them together which I think is what package insert says. Wondering if these two factors affect blood test results, has anyone noticed?

I take 2 capsules (500 mg each) mid day since I also take Eliquis morning and night and like to space my medications apart.

My Hydroxyurea is a capsule. You must be on a brand name.
