Anti-inflammatory, anti-allergy, and immunosuppressant drugs
Drugs and the immune system
Immune and inflammatory responses protect the body from invading foreign substances. These responses can be modified by certain classes of drugs:
- Antihistamines block the effects of histamine on target tissues.
- Corticosteroids suppress immune responses and reduce inflammation.
- Noncorticosteroid immunosuppressants prevent rejection of transplanted organs and can be used to treat auto immune disease.
- Uricosurics prevent or control the frequency of gouty arthritis attacks.
