Sermorelin Injection and Thymoglobulin rabbit

• Generic Name: sermorelin
• Dosage Forms: n.a.
• Other Brand Names: Medi-Lyte, Temp Tabs, Thermotabs

Sermorelin is a synthetic (man-made) version of a naturally occurring substance that causes release of growth hormone from the pituitary gland. Growth hormone is naturally produced by the pituitary gland and is necessary for growth in children. In children who fail to grow normally because their bodies are not producing enough growth hormone, sermorelin may be used to increase the amount of growth hormone produced by the pituitary gland.

Sermorelin is available only with your doctor's prescription.

• Generic Name: anti-thymocyte globulin (rabbit)
• Dosage Forms: injection, powder, lyophilized, for solution
• Other Brand Names: Thymoglobulin

Thymoglobulin is a sterilized solution made of the cells of rabbits that have been injected with white blood cells from humans.

Thymoglobulin lowers your body's immune system. The immune system helps your body fight infections. The immune system can also fight or "reject" a transplanted organ such as a liver or kidney. This is because the immune system treats the new organ as an invader.

Thymoglobulin is used together with other medicines to prevent your body from rejecting a kidney transplant.

Thymoglobulin may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
