What is TB-500?
TB-500 is a synthetic peptide fragment related to thymosin beta-4, a naturally occurring protein involved in cellular processes associated with tissue repair and healing.
How It Works
TB-500 is believed to interact with biological pathways involved in cell movement, tissue remodeling, and repair. Its proposed effects are based largely on laboratory and preclinical research, and its safety and effectiveness in humans have not been established.
Expected Benefits
Potential proposed benefits include support for tissue repair, wound healing, recovery, mobility, and inflammatory response. These benefits have not been established through FDA-approved human clinical studies, and individual response is unknown.
When to Use
Use only according to the dosing and administration schedule provided by your medical provider. Do not change the dose, frequency, or duration of treatment without provider approval.
Possible Side Effects
Human safety data for TB-500 are extremely limited. Possible reactions may include redness, swelling, itching, bruising, or discomfort at the injection site, headache, nausea, dizziness, or fatigue. Additional or unknown adverse effects may occur. TB-500 has been studied for potential roles in wound healing and tissue regeneration; however, it is investigational and is not FDA-approved for human therapeutic use.
Contact Your Provider If You Experience
Persistent or severe injection-site reactions, significant swelling, rash or signs of an allergic reaction, difficulty breathing, severe dizziness, unusual or persistent symptoms, or any new or concerning changes in your health.
Who Should Not Use
Suite Skin will not prescribe to patients during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with active or suspected cancer, or with a known allergy to any component of the medication. Additional medical conditions may make treatment inappropriate. You must provide your complete medical history and notify our medical team of any new or suspected medical condition during treatment.
Treatment Expectations
TB-500 is an investigational peptide. Its safety, effectiveness, optimal dosing, and long-term effects in humans have not been established. Any potential benefits are not guaranteed, and treatment requires ongoing medical evaluation.
Patient Responsibility
Use only as prescribed. Do not change dosing or schedule without provider approval. Store medication properly. Attend required follow-ups and report side effects promptly. TB-500 is not FDA-approved for human therapeutic use, and there may be risks associated with treatment that are currently unknown.
