Introduction
In general, injections that help enhance immunity include human interferon α1b, thymopeptide injection, transfer factor injection, human immunoglobulin, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) polysaccharide nucleic acid injection, etc. When using these injections, they should be administered under the guidance of a physician. It is recommended not to rely solely on injections to enhance immunity, as daily lifestyle habits, dietary nutrition, and physical exercise also have significant impacts on immune function.

Generally, injections that enhance immunity include Human Interferon α1b Injection, Thymopeptide Injection, Transfer Factor Injection, Human Immunoglobulin, and Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) Polysaccharide Nucleic Acid Injection. These injections should be administered under the guidance of a physician. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Human Interferon α1b Injection: This injection has multiple functions, including antiviral, antitumor, and immune-regulating effects. In terms of antiviral activity, it can be used to treat viral diseases such as hepatitis B and hepatitis C by enhancing immune function to inhibit viral replication. Regarding antitumor effects, it can serve as an adjunctive treatment for certain cancers, improving the body's ability to recognize and destroy cancer cells.

2. Thymopeptide Injection: This injection promotes the maturation of T-lymphocytes in the body and has the function of regulating and enhancing cellular immunity. It is generally used in the treatment of various primary or secondary T-cell deficiency diseases, autoimmune diseases, and as adjunctive therapy for tumors.

3. Transfer Factor Injection: This injection enhances or suppresses humoral and cellular immune functions to correct immune dysfunction in the body. It is commonly used as an adjunctive treatment for certain intracellular infections caused by viruses or fungi, as well as for immunodeficiency diseases.

4. Human Immunoglobulin: This injection improves the body's anti-infective capacity through passive immunity. It can be used to treat immunoglobulin deficiency, immunodeficiency disorders, severe infections, and autoimmune diseases.

5. BCG Polysaccharide Nucleic Acid Injection: This injection regulates the body's immune system and enhances disease resistance. It is mainly used for the prevention and treatment of chronic bronchitis, common colds, asthma, and other diseases.

It is recommended not to rely solely on injections to enhance immunity, as lifestyle habits, nutrition, physical exercise, and other factors also significantly impact immune function.
