What medications can generally be taken for vitiligo to improve immunity?

Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
Patients with vitiligo who wish to improve their immune system may consider the following medications: 1. Western medicine: Drugs such as thymopeptide enteric-coated tablets and pidotimod oral solution can activate immune cells and enhance immunity. However, these should be used only under a doctor's guidance to ensure safety and effectiveness. 2. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM): Certain TCMs, such as Jinshuibao capsules and Yupingfeng powder, also help boost immunity. Patients may choose suitable herbal remedies based on advice from a licensed TCM practitioner for body regulation. While taking medication, vitiligo patients should also maintain healthy lifestyle habits, including sufficient sleep, a balanced diet, and moderate exercise, all of which contribute to improved immunity and better disease recovery. Medication use must always be conducted under the supervision of a qualified physician.
