Therapy Immunosuppressive

Immunosuppressive therapy is a type of therapy based on the use of drugs that suppress the body's immunological reactivity. Immunosuppressive drugs include glucocorticoids, cytostatics, immunosuppressants and other drugs that reduce the activity of the immune system.

Immunosuppressive therapy is used in the following cases:

1. In autoimmune diseases, when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own cells and tissues. Such diseases include rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis and others. Immunosuppressants help stop pathological immune reactions directed against the body.

2. After organ and tissue transplantation to prevent rejection. Immunosuppressive drugs suppress the recipient's immune system so that the body does not recognize the donor organ as foreign.

3. For some cancer diseases in combination with other treatment methods.

4. In dermatology for severe forms of psoriasis, eczema and other diseases.

Thus, immunosuppressive therapy makes it possible to control excessive or misdirected immune responses in a number of serious diseases. However, the use of these drugs requires careful monitoring, since it is associated with the risk of developing infectious complications against a background of weakened immunity.

Like many other aspects of modern medicine, pharmacology is constantly being improved and developed. One of the important areas in this area is immunosuppressive therapy. This type of therapy is based on the use of drugs that suppress the body's immune response. In this article we will look at the basic principles and use of such drugs.

Immunosuppression is a condition in which the immune system does not function properly. This can lead to various diseases such as allergies, infections and autoimmune diseases. Immunosuppressants are used to treat these conditions.

The mechanism of action of immunosuppressants is to reduce the activity of immune cells such as T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes. These cells are responsible for recognizing and destroying foreign agents such as bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. When immunosuppressed, these cells become less effective, which can lead to the development of infectious diseases or autoimmune diseases.

One example of the use of an immunosuppressant is in the treatment of psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease that appears as scaly patches on the body. Treatment for psoriasis includes the use of immunosuppressant drugs such as methotrexate and azathioprine. These drugs reduce the activity of immune cells and reduce skin inflammation.
