There are a number of immunosupressant drugs used in aplastic anaemia.
One of the most common combinations is:
* Antithymocyte globulin (ATG) which targets T cells which are white blood cells that work to remove foreign cells in the body. * Cyclosporine - this also targets T cells * Methylprednisalone - this reduces the number of antibodies made by the body and is used in combination with ATG to reduce its side effects.
