types of autoimmune drugs
Immunosuppressant drugs also are used to treat autoimmune diseases such as lupus. An autoimmune disorder is a disease process in which the body attacks its own tissue. Lupus results from just such a misdirected activity of the bodyâs own immune system. By suppressing this reaction, immunosuppressant drugs can help control the impact of the disease on the body. Other diseases treated with immunosuppressant drugs include: psoriasis.
