Comparison with Thymalin
Thymalin, a polypeptide thymic extract, produces more frequent allergic-type reactions (8-10%) compared to Vilon's 2-3% rate due to its complex protein composition.[96] Injection site reactions occur at similar frequencies (15-18%), but Thymalin shows higher r

- Thymalin, a polypeptide thymic extract, produces more frequent allergic-type reactions (8-10%) compared to Vilon's 2-3% rate due to its complex protein composition.[96] Injection site reactions occur at similar frequencies (15-18%), but Thymalin shows higher rates of systemic hypersensitivity.[97] Gastrointestinal tolerance is comparable between the two peptides.[98]
