The treatment for diptheria is Diphtheria antitoxin which is the mainstay of therapy. It neutralizes circulating diphtheria toxin and reduces the progression of the disease. The effectiveness of diphtheria antitoxin is greatest if it is administered early in the course of the disease.

Antitoxin is not recommended for asymptomatic carriers and it is usually of no value in localized cutaneous diphtheria.
