Side effects:
On very rare occasions, patients with atopic disposition (increased hypersensitivity) may experience allergically induced skin reactions such as itching or redness of the skin, nettle-rash and oedema or reactions such as fever and shivering.
Notes:
Although there is no indication that it has an embryo toxic effect, Thym-Uvocal ® should not be administered during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Nor should the drug be used by patients who are known to be sensitive to animal protein/protein components or thymus peptides or who have such a disposition. If there are signs of sensitization during treatment, the treatment should be stopped. In the case of patients with hypothyroidism (impaired function of the thyroid gland), the thyroid gland and its function should be examined at regular intervals.

Dear Patient:
Thym-Uvocal ® is a drug which is used to strengthen your defense system and stimulate the body's self-healing properties. In this way, diseases which are caused by a damaged and weak immune system can be prevented or significantly alleviated. Our body's own defense system, also known as the immune system, is able to recognize and ward off bacteria, viruses and environmental poisons which penetrate the body from outside. The immune system acts in a similar way towards harmful substances which are formed in the body itself. Diseases, such as infections, are prevented or they may be less severe. The secret of our immune system lies in the highly specialised defense cells (T-lymphocytes) which have learnt to recognize and store pathogenic bacteria and foreign substances in their memory. In the event of another attack, the defense cells are active and aggressive and reliably counteract the impending disease.
The role of the thymus gland:
The thymus gland which lies on the pericardium behind the breastbone plays a central role in our immune system. It trains the defense cells and ensures that they are specialised. Only a thymus gland which is functioning well can guarantee that the defense cells have been effectively trained by the thymus peptides.
This is how Thym-Uvocal ® works:
The performance of the thymus gland does not correspond to human life expectancy: the thymus gland is at its largest at puberty. At this time of life our bodies are always encountering new pathogens and contaminants so the size of the thymus gland at this age corresponds to the enormous amount the immune system has to learn. The thymus gland subsequently shrinks to the size of a cherry. By the age of forty, our thymus gland has lost 80% of its original size and activity. With increasing age, the immune system loses its power of resistance. Therefore, in order to maintain functional performance, thymus peptides (Thym-Uvocal ® injectable solution) have to be taken. This means that ageing or old people are better protected against infections and numerous other illnesses. Thym-Uvocal ® strengthens the human immune system. It contains thymus peptides, natural control substances which restore the immune system's declining defenses. These thymus peptides increase the number of immune cells and ensure that they mature into normal defense cells.
Thymus treatment:
You can use Thym-Uvocal ® as a preventative measure and for acute illnesses. Strengthening the immune system takes some time and cannot be achieved overnight. Thym-Uvocal ® should therefore be used for at least 4 weeks, preferably 8 weeks. Injections are usually given three times a week, e.g. 1-2 ampoules on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Hypodermic medication with Thym-Uvocal ® is often repeated 2-3 times a year in order to maintain the effect over a longish period.
