THYMOGEN AMPOULES 10 - for intramuscular injection

THYMOGEN® has a regulating effect on the reactions of cellular, humoral immunity and nonspecific resistance of the organism. It stimulates the processes of regeneration in case of their oppression. Improves the course of cellular metabolic processes. It enhances the expression of differentiation receptors on lymphocytes, normalizes the number of T-helpers, cytotoxic T-lymphocytes and their ratio in patients with various immunodeficiency states.

Thymogen was developed by a team of Leningrad and Moscow scientists for the treatment of immunodeficiency states. The drug was approved for medical use in 1990.

The active substance of Thymogen® is the monosodium salt of L-α-glutamyl-L-tryptophan. It is a synthetic dipeptide consisting of amino acid residues - glutamine and tryptophan. Thymogen is identical to a natural compound isolated by chromatography from an extract of the thymus (thymus gland) - an organ, where maturation, differentiation and immunological "training" of T cells of the immune system take place. Thymogen's international non-proprietary name (INN) is Oglufanidum (oglufanid). Alpha-glutamyl-tryptophan stimulates cellular factors of immunogenesis, proliferation and differentiation of T-lymphocyte precursors into mature immunocompetent cells, normalizes the ratio of T-helpers / T-suppressors, increases the concentration of cyclic adenosine monophosphate in T-lymphocyte precursors. It strengthens nonspecific resistance of the organism, promotes activation of phagocytic functions of neutrophils and monocytes / macrophages; stimulates interferonogenesis and natural killer cell function (in low doses). It possesses anti-mediator properties. It is highly effective for immunodeficiencies of the T-suppressor type.

Indications for use:

The main indication for the use of Thymogen® is a secondary immunodeficiency state. This condition accompanies most infections, injuries, acute and chronic infectious and inflammatory diseases, autoimmune diseases, acute and chronic exposure to ionizing radiation and toxic xenobiotics. Since this condition develops in a variety of diseases, the effective dosage form of the Thymogen® drug and the tactics of its use are largely determined by the specific type of pathological process.

The main areas of application of various dosage forms of the drug Thymogen®:

• complex therapy of acute and chronic infectious and inflammatory diseases, accompanied by a decrease in the parameters of cellular immunity;
• prevention and complex therapy of acute and chronic respiratory diseases;
• prevention of suppression of immunity, hematopoiesis, regeneration processes in the post-traumatic and postoperative period, in the course of radiation therapy or chemotherapy, when using massive doses of antibiotics;
• prevention and complex therapy of viral (including acute respiratory infections and influenza), bacterial and chlamydial infections;
• in dermatology, for the complex therapy of atopic dermatitis, including those complicated by secondary bacterial infection, chronic true and microbial eczema, chronic pyoderma, mechanical, thermal and chemical injuries of the skin, etc.;
• in obstetric and gynecological practice.

In combination with etiotropic agents, Thymogen® promotes faster and more complete recovery of the patient, reduces the risk of chronic diseases and complications.

Usage THYMOGEN AMPOULES for intramuscular injection :

In the complex therapy of acute and chronic viral and bacterial diseases, accompanied by a decrease in immunity:

• viral hepatitis;
• acute and chronic nonspecific lung disease (COPD): chronic bronchitis, acute and chronic pneumonia;
• diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue (pyoderma, furunculosis, erysipelas);
• in the complex therapy of severe diffuse forms of atopic dermatitis;
• in the complex therapy of severe mechanical, chemical, radiation and thermal injuries (burn disease);
• complex treatment of wound and surgical infection, including purulent-septic complications in the postoperative period;
• during the period of preoperative preparation during planned surgical operations in order to prevent infectious complications and stimulate regeneration processes;
• after radiation therapy, chemotherapy, as well as long-term antibiotic therapy in high doses.
