I am not finding any information on specific medications and the treatment protocol will vary, depending on what has caused the condition. For instance, if it's because someone has Lupus, then NSAID medications may help.

And drainage is usually reserved for severe cases, where it is causing compromise of the heart function.

You can learn more about it and the details here:

Are there any other questions or comments?
