interleukin inhibitors

Interleukin inhibitors are medications that block specific proteins called interleukins, which are involved in the body's immune response. These proteins can contribute to inflammation and are often overactive in autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or psoriasis. By targeting and inhibiting interleukins, these drugs help reduce inflammation and immune system activity, alleviating symptoms and preventing tissue damage. They are a targeted therapy designed to modulate the immune system rather than suppress it entirely, allowing for more precise treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions.
