THE USE OF BIOLOGICS IN THE TREATMENT OF AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE: A REVIEW
Blessy Fernandes*, A R Shabaraya, Suchetha Kumari
ABSTRACT
Autoimmune diseases are a group of conditions in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells and tissues, causing inflammation, tissue damage, and organ failure. Autoimmune diseases can affect any part of the body and can range in severity from mild to life-threatening. The traditional treatment for autoimmune diseases includes the use of immunosuppressive drugs which suppress the immune system to prevent further damage. However, these drugs are not always effective and can cause significant side effects.[1] Biologics, a newer class of drugs have emerged as an alternative treatment option for autoimmune diseases. They are a type of medication that are derived from living organisms rather than from chemical synthesis. Keywords: . [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
