About this active substance
Reteplase is a medication used in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (heart attack). It belongs to a class of drugs called thrombolytics and works by dissolving blood clots that block blood flow to the heart.
The medication is administered intravenously under the strict supervision of a specialist doctor, usually in an intensive care unit. It is crucial to administer it as soon as possible after the onset of symptoms to maximize its benefits.
Side effects may include bleeding, low blood pressure, or allergic reactions. In rare cases, severe complications such as intracranial hemorrhage may occur, requiring immediate medical intervention.
Patients should inform their doctor about any other medications being used or pre-existing conditions, such as bleeding disorders or uncontrolled hypertension, as these may affect the safety of reteplase use.
