Safety Overview
Intermedin (Adrenomedullin-2) is an endogenous peptide hormone with systemic vascular and renal effects that warrant cautious use. As a vasodilator acting through CGRP and other peptide receptors, it can significantly lower blood pressure—a key safety consideration for hypotensive or cardiovascular-compromised individuals. Preclinical studies show dose-dependent hypotensive effects and tachycardia, limiting clinical translation. The compound remains largely experimental with limited safety data in humans outside specific research contexts.
Contraindications
- xPregnancy and breastfeeding - insufficient safety data
- xActive cardiovascular events (heart attack, stroke)
- xSevere renal (kidney) impairment
- xHypersensitivity to calcitonin family peptides
- xUncontrolled endocrine disorders
Thymosin Beta-4
Evidence Level
Moderate human trials (Phase 1-2)
FDA Status
Research compound
Safety Overview
Thymosin Beta-4 is a naturally occurring peptide found in all cells and body fluids in the human body. Clinical trials have demonstrated excellent safety even at very high doses. IV studies showed doses up to 1260 mg were well tolerated with no serious adverse events.
Contraindications
- xActive systemic infections
- xSevere immunosuppression
- xHypersensitivity to thymosin or any component
- xPregnancy (insufficient safety data)
