Drugs that enhance the body's immune function
Disease description:
Hello doctor, my uncle recently underwent surgery due to poor health and is currently in the recovery phase. I'd like to ask what medications are available to boost immune function? I'm thinking of buying some health supplements for him to improve his nutrition.

Dr. Liu Aihua
Commonly used medications and supplements to enhance immune function include glycyrrhizin compound, licorice extract, penicillin, Lactobacillus acidophilus, inulin, choline methanol, arginine, vitamins A, C, E, D, and B-complex, selenium, iron, calcium, zinc, magnesium, and other nutrients. These agents can directly strengthen the body's immune system, thereby enhancing resistance to pathogens and improving overall immunity. Additionally, drugs with anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties, such as aspirin and passive immunizing agents, may be used to prevent infections caused by viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens that could otherwise lead to a decline in immune function.
