WHAT CEPLENE IS AND WHAT IS USED FOR
Ceplene belongs to a group of medicines called immunomodulatory
medicines. These medicines help

immune system’s natural role

dihydrochloride; it is identical to a
naturally occurring substance in the body. It is used together with
low doses of interleukin-2 (IL-2),
another medicine which helps the immune system to fight diseases like
