Adjuvant
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Adjuvants are pharmacological or immunological agents that modify the effect of other agents (e.g., drugs, vaccines) while having few if any direct effects when given by themselves. In this sense, they are roughly analogous to chemical catalysts. Types of adjuvants include:
- Pharmaceutic adjuvant
- Immunologic adjuvant
- Agricultural spray adjuvant
- Adjuvant chemotherapy
- Adjuvants for dermatalogical products, including cosmetics and toiletries
