Patients with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura should be treated with glucocorticoids, such as oral prednisone and dexamethasone. However, it should be noted that the dosage should be reduced to discontinued if prednisone is ineffective after 4 weeks of treatment. It is also necessary to monitor blood pressure and blood sugar when applying these drugs, to protect the gastric mucosa and to prevent the occurrence of infections.
