Sadly there is no cure (YET) for ITP.... BUT there are many treatments available which can increase and stabilise the platelet count. The various treatments work differently for different people with varying degrees of success so it is still a little bit of "trial and error" in working out treatment works best for each individual ITP sufferer.

A list of the various treatments for ITP may be viewed at itpsupport.org.uk/index.php...
