Immunosuppressive agents - what does this mean
Immunosuppressive agents are drugs that are used to suppress the immune system's response. these agents work by blocking the body's ability to produce antibodies and other components of the immune system that are involved in fighting infection and disease. they can be used to prevent organ rejection after a transplant, to treat autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, and to treat certain types of cancer.
What happens during the disease - immunosuppressive agents
Immunosuppressive agents are drugs that suppress the immune system and prevent it from attacking the body. they work by blocking the activity of certain immune cells, such as t-cells and b-cells, which are responsible for initiating and sustaining an immune response. by blocking these cells, the agents can reduce inflammation, prevent organ rejection, and reduce the risk of autoimmune diseases. however, long-term use of immunosuppressive agents can lead to an increased risk of infection, cancer, and other serious complications.
