Key takeaways

Medications for chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) are used to treat low platelet counts, reduce inflammation, and manage autoimmune conditions. Medication classes that treat ITP include corticosteroids and immunoglobulins. They work by suppressing the immune system to prevent it from attacking your platelets. Corticosteroids like methylprednisolone (Medrol) are available in oral and injectable forms. Prednisone (Rayos), hydrocortisone (Cortef), and prednisolone (Orapred) are available in oral forms only. Immunoglobulins are injectable medications. Examples include Gammagard S/D and Gamunex-C. These medications offer various ways to help manage your chronic ITP effectively.
