Study Notes
Immunosuppressive Drugs
- Corticosteroids primarily target the immune system, reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune response.
- The primary function of immunosuppressant drugs is to prevent the immune system from rejecting transplanted organs or to treat autoimmune diseases.
- Protease inhibitor drugs primarily target viral replication, specifically HIV, by inhibiting the protease enzyme that allows the virus to replicate.
