Abstract:
At the current stage of healthcare development, the inclusion of immunomodulators in the complex pharmacotherapy of various immunoinflammatory and viral diseases is widely discussed, but due to the lack of sufficient research and a broad evidence base, not all drugs with similar properties are used in medicine. According to the information obtained from the instructions for the use of immunomodulators, it was obtained that the main contraindications to their use include the prescription of children, pregnant women, and women during breastfeeding. In this study, we evaluated the effects of immunomodulatory drugs: aminodihydrophthalazindione sodium and meglumine acridonacetate, on the early developmental stages of Danio rerio (Zebrafish) embryos.

Leukotriene modifiers work through two distinct mechanisms:
Antiasthma Drugs: Mast Cell Stabilizers and Anti-IgE Drugs
Mast cell stabilizers, such as cromolyn (also known as sodium cromoglycate) and nedocromil (Tilade), are effective drugs in asthma management. These stabilizers hinder histamine release by skillfully obstructing the activation of mast cells and other cellular entities. Notably, they navigate this task without...
