Modern principles of immunotropic drugs creation

Abstract

It has now been shown that the inclusion of immunostimulators in the complex therapy of diseases associated with impaired immune system, can significantly increase in some cases the effectiveness of etiotropic therapy and reach the clinical effect quicker. These data were the basis for the creation of a number of therapeutic drugs aimed at activating the functional activity of the cells of the immune system. At the same time, as a result of these data, it became necessary to standardize and develop certain requirements for therapeutic drugs, defined as immunostimulators, which this review is devoted to.
