Relevance: 03.07.2019 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

When checking interaction based on authoritative sources Drugs.com, Rxlist.com, Webmd.com, Medscape.com there are contraindications or side effects that may cause harm or increase the negative effect from drug interaction with food or lifestyle.

Consumer:

The use of thrombolytics is contraindicated in patients with an active bleed (internal), trauma/surgery (recent CPR/intracranial/intraspinal surgery within 2 months), bleeding diathesis, history of cerebrovascular (CV) accident, intracranial defect (aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation, neoplasm), or severe uncontrolled arterial hypertension (SBP>180/DBP>110). Risk versus benefit should be carefully considered in the following conditions and thrombolytic therapy administered with caution in patients with recent (10 days) serious GI bleed or recent (10 days) surgical procedure (coronary bypass graft, obstetrical delivery, organ biopsy, puncture of noncompressible vessel), left heart thrombus, subacute bacterial endocarditis, hemostatic defect, CV disease, diabetic hemorrhagic retinopathy, or pregnancy. Clinical monitoring of hematopoietic, bleeding and coagulation functions is recommended prior to initiation of thrombolytic therapy. Measures of fibrinolytic activity and/or coagulation functions during infusion do not correlate with efficacy or risk of bleeding.
