A calf thymus extract studied for immune problems, with uncertain safety and product identity.
Also called: Timalin, Thymalinum, Thymaline, Тималин.
Khavinson bioregulator peptides · Calf-thymus polypeptide extract.
Comes as: Freeze-dried calf-thymus extract in a 10 mg vial.
Mixed with: Russian instructions: dissolve one 10 mg vial in 1–2 mL isotonic sodium chloride solution..
Common vial sizes: 10 mg. Common water amounts: 1, 2 mL.
- The listed 1–2 mL volumes refer to saline, not bacteriostatic water.
- The original vial contains 20 mg glycine in addition to 10 mg extract.
- Vial capacity is 5 mL; that is not a required mixing volume.
- Forum bacteriostatic-water mixing appears separately as community evidence.
- These are Russian product instructions, not an FDA or EMA-approved handling label.
Before mixing: The retrieved manufacturer insert says protect from light at ≤20°C. Current Vidal information lists 2–25°C; follow the matching package.
After mixing: Prepare just before injection. No validated multi-day storage time for mixed Thymalin was located.
