Brinsupri is not a traditional immunosuppressant. It's a targeted anti-inflammatory medication. Calms overactive neutrophils (white blood cells) that cause ongoing lung inflammation. Steroids, a traditional immunosuppressant, suppresses the entire immune system. Brinsupri on the other hand, targets a specific pathway. It helps reduce inflammation and leaves the rest of the immune system intact.
