Drugs in Immune Disorders, Allergy & Anaphylaxis ILOs

Drugs activating the immune response can help boost basal immunity to fight against infections and inflammation, or activate suppressed immune response in cases of immunodeficiency or cancer, thereby preventing infections and controlling immunodeficiency.

Drugs acting on allergic pathways can be selected based on their mechanism of action and their ability to block the effect of allergic mediators, to control different allergic diathesis.

Anti-allergics are used to control exaggerated responses to non-pathogenic antigens by blocking the effect of allergic mediators, thereby controlling type I Immediate Hypersensitivity reactions.
