Can I prevent systemic capillary leak syndrome?

You can’t prevent systemic capillary leak syndrome from developing. Once you’ve had an attack, you know you have the condition.

Regular use of medications or infusions may help prevent future episodes and reduce their severity. These treatments may include:

• Monthly infusions of intravenous immune globulin (IVIG).
• Oral asthma medications, such as theophylline (Elixophyllin®), terbutaline (Brethine®) and montelukast (Singulair®).
• Steroids to reduce inflammation.
