What are the Toxicological Concerns with Immunomodulators?
Like any therapeutic agents, immunomodulators can have adverse effects. Toxicological concerns often revolve around the risk of infections, malignancies, or other immune-related conditions:
Increased Infection Risk: Immunosuppressants can make patients more susceptible to infections due to the dampened immune response. Malignancies: Long-term use of certain immunomodulators can increase the risk of cancers due to immune surveillance impairment. Immune Dysregulation: Overstimulation or suppression of the immune system can lead to conditions such as cytokine release syndrome or autoimmune reactions.
