Keep alpha-1 separate from beta-4 references
FDA notes inadequate safety-related information for proposed compounded thymosin-alpha-1 products. Its name should not be shortened to thymosin when that could confuse it with TB-500 or another substance.
Documentation to request
Require the full substance name and sequence-matched identity documentation. Do not use a beta-4 report to qualify an alpha-1 item.
