Drug-Induced Thrombocytopenia (DITP)
Medications can cause an allergic reaction to the body of sensitive people. The responses are rare and mostly case rashes. Sometimes the reactions caused by medicines can have a serious effect on the body and can affect the blood platelets. In such a reaction, the drugs stick itself to the surface of platelets. When drugs bound itself to the platelet, the body considers it as a foreign substance due to a combination of drugs with the platelet. Due to which body makes antibodies for drug-coated platelet and destroys platelets. If the drug consumption is stopped, platelet destruction is also stopped, and platelet count returns to normal. Still, these drug-dependent antibodies can persist for many years, and whenever the patient takes the drug again, the platelets will again be coated causing antibodies to attack them and lowering the level of platelets therefore once you have identified the case it is very crucial to avoid any further exposure to the drug.
