Immunomodulators can be broadly categorized into two types: - Immunosuppressants: These agents reduce the strength of the body's immune response. They are often used in conditions like organ transplantation and autoimmune diseases to prevent the immune system from attacking the bodyâs own tissues. - Immunostimulants: These agents enhance the immune response. They are used in conditions like cancer and chronic infections where a stronger immune response is beneficial.
