ARE THERE EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS FOR THROMBOCYTOPENIA?

Depends on the cause:

If the cause is reversible (like a secondary immune reaction due to a medication) then stopping the medication should help reverse the process.  If the problem is autoimmune, other strategies such as plasmapheresis/immunisuppression might make a significant impact  These decisions are best managed by a hematologist.
