Several classes of drugs are used for immunosuppressive therapy in gynecology:
Corticosteroids: These are often the first line of treatment for reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune system. Antimetabolites: Drugs like methotrexate fall into this category and are used to interfere with the DNA synthesis of immune cells. Calcineurin Inhibitors: Medications such as cyclosporine and tacrolimus are used primarily in transplant patients. Biologics: These are newer drugs that target specific components of the immune system, such as TNF inhibitors.
