Regulates, compensates, reinforces the bodies defense's
Thymoenzym 2G
Analysis:
The immune system is made up by cellular and humoral elements whose main function is the defence of the body’s well-being, with the ability to recognise its own and foreign substances.
If a microorganism succeeds in getting through the body’s defence barriers, the first reaction is inflammation. During the first 12 to 24 hours, the cells that act are the polymorphonuclear neutrophils, with great phagocytic power, and, to a lesser degree, the eosinophils. After this time, the mononuclear macrophages appear, also with phagocytic power, directing the antigens and neutrophils that phagocytosed antigens. In addition to this, the fibrinogen becomes fibrin, forming small local clots that try to impede the dissemination of the antigen.
The changes in the regulation and functioning of the immune system lead to diseases that will present different signs, according to the type of dysfunction. The diminished oversight of the immune system is connected to a greater frequency and seriousness of infections, as well as to the development of tumours. Other times, the body lacks the immune resources in a sufficient quantity or variety to counteract the penetration of outside agents such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, or the generation of tumour cells. In these instances, what we have are cases of immune deficiency and we need agents that stimulate the immune response.
Thymoenzym 2G is a preparation that increases local and general immune responses of natural origin, replacing the action of the thymus gland in the human being, which disappears almost completely with age. The same as with all replacement therapies, Thymoenzym 2G has excellent tolerance both for immunoprophylaxis as well as for immunological intervention in the body.
Contraindications: Internal bleeding after or during treatment with cortisone or another suprarenal gland-derived product. In this last case, one should wait 6 weeks before starting treatment. With respect to pregnancy, it can be administered after the third month of gestation.
During treatment, products containing acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) cannot be taken.
Side Effects: After the first injections, local pruritis or reddening may occur; this does not happen when taking Thymoenzym in oral form. In the case of the injectable form, a cream containing heparinoid may be used. There may also be a rise in body temperature or fever, which should disappear within 2 to 4 hours. No major reactions have been observed.
Administration: Thymoenzym should be injected IM in the buttocks area, slowly. It is recommended that it not be injected after ingesting food, preferably waiting 2 hours after meals to administer it. A half-dose of 2.5 ml or one (1) full dose of 5 ml may be administered daily, up to a maximum of 3 full doses per day, with no contraindications.
