Course content
The academic discipline "Immunomodulatory drugs" is a component of the educational program for professional training of specialists at the "Bachelor" educational level. The discipline is selective and is dedicated to the study of medical drugs with immunomodulatory effects and immunotropic substances used for the purpose of immunocorrection in various pathological conditions. The main types of pathological conditions and the processes underlying them, in which the need for the use of immunomodulatory drugs arises, are considered; modern classifications of immunomodulatory drugs, mechanisms of their immunomodulatory and pharmacological action and principles of choosing a particular drug for the purpose of correcting the immune response
