Immunomodulator

Immunomodulators are a type of drug that modulate the immune system. This type of drug has many different applications and is used to treat a variety of conditions. Immunomodulators have the potential to reduce the body's immune response to certain substances such as allergens, bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances. They may also be used to reduce inflammation and to prevent the body from developing autoimmune diseases. Immunomodulators work by either suppressing or activating certain components of the immune system. For example, some immunomodulators can activate T cells, which are responsible for recognizing and destroying foreign substances, while others can suppress B cells, which produce antibodies. Immunomodulators also have the potential to reduce the risk of infections and cancer. They can also be used to treat chronic inflammatory diseases, such as asthma and rheumatoid arthritis.
