[|Human|] My blood platelets are 5,000. I already had 2 treatments of IVIG gammagobulin, and on 60 mg of prednisone for a month, and even tried 80 mg for a week. I am scheduled for 2 more treatments of gammagobulin on Thurs & Fri this week. Is there any vitamins or supplements that will help the low blood platelets? Barbara
[|AI|]  Hi there, I can conclude that you are being treated for ITP in these ones platelets decreases because of autoimmunity I could understand your concern as you might be getting these episodes of low platelets repeatedly and IVG is very costly. I am sorry, but vitamins are really not helpful to increase platelet count in ITP. Hope this answers your query.
