CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGICAL APPROACH TO THE RATIONAL USE OF IMMUNOCORRECTIVE DRUGS
Keywords:
Immunocorrection, immunomodulators, clinical pharmacology, immune homeostasis, T-cell regulation, cytokine therapy, immune stratification.Abstract
This article provides a clinical pharmacological framework for the rational
use of immunocorrective drugs — agents that modulate the immune response to restore
homeostasis. Rather than categorizing these agents solely by their chemical structure or
general effect, the discussion focuses on their functional classification based on immune
system targets, mechanisms of dysregulation, and clinical scenarios. Emphasis is placed on
tailoring immunocorrection to immune profile types, avoiding non-selective immune
modulation, and integrating pharmacodynamic, pharmacokinetic, and immunogenetic data
into therapeutic decisions.
