Carinase 15 MIU Injection

Carinase 15 MIU Injection belongs to a class of drugs called antithrombotic agents used to dissolve harmful blood clots in blood vessels. It is used in conditions such as peripheral vascular thromboembolism (blood clot in a large vein), cerebral thrombosis (blood clot in venous sinuses of the brain), cerebral infarction (stroke), myocardial infarction (heart attack),  and pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs).

Carinase 15 MIU Injection contains urokinase that works by converting plasminogen to the enzyme plasmin. Plasmin degrades fibrin clots as well as fibrinogen and some other plasma proteins. It effectively dissolves the blood clots, restoring the blood flow to the affected area.

Carinase 15 MIU Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional. In some cases, Carinase 15 MIU Injection may cause unusual bleeding, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. Most of these side effects do not necessitate medical treatment and fade away with time. Please visit your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, inform your doctor before taking Carinase 15 MIU Injection. Keep your doctor updated on your medical condition and medications to rule out any potential interactions. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Carinase 15 MIU Injection as it could increase the risk of bleeding. Carinase 15 MIU Injection should not be given to children because its safety and effectiveness have not been proven.

Carinase 15 MIU Injection belongs to a class of drugs known as antithrombotic medications. Carinase 15 MIU Injection contains urokinase. It works by dissolving or lysing the harmful or unwanted blood clots in the blood vessels. Thus it restores the blood flow to the affected blood vessels, preventing various illnesses caused by blood clots. It is used in conditions such as peripheral vascular thromboembolism (blood clot in a large vein), cerebral thrombosis (blood clot in venous sinuses of the brain), cerebral infarction (stroke), myocardial infarction (heart attack),  and pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs).

• Unusual bleeding
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Loss of appetite

Before taking Carinase 15 MIU Injection, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Carinase 15 MIU Injection should be used with caution in elderly people because they are at significant risk of bleeding. If you have active tuberculosis, stomach ulcers, severe uncontrolled arterial hypertension, bleeding abnormalities, severe hepatic or renal diseases, inform your doctor before taking Carinase 15 MIU Injection. Also, let your doctor know if you have had a recent cerebrovascular accident, as well as intracranial or intraspinal surgery. Inform your doctor that you take Carinase 15 MIU Injection if are due to undergo surgery. You should avoid alcohol because it increases the risk of bleeding. Carinase 15 MIU Injection is not recommended for children since its safety and effectiveness have not been proven.

Drug-Drug Interactions: Carinase 15 MIU Injection may interact with anticoagulant medications (warfarin) and medications with platelet antiaggregant effects (aspirin, ticlopidine hydrochloride, dipyridamole).

Drug-Food Interactions: Alcohol should be avoided because it increases the risk of bleeding.

Drug-Disease Interactions: Carinase 15 MIU Injection may have an interaction with disease conditions like active bleeding, severe uncontrolled arterial hypertension, recent surgery (CPR/intracranial/intraspinal surgery within two months), bleeding diathesis (a tendency to bleed), history of cerebrovascular accident, and intracranial defect (arteriovenous malformation, aneurysm, neoplasm).

• WARFARIN
• ASPIRIN
• TICLOPIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE
• DIPYRIDAMOLE

• Avoid cranberry juice, grapefruit juice, noni juice, pomegranate juice, and green tea.
• Make no dietary changes without first consulting your doctor.
• You should avoid alcohol because it increases the risk of bleeding.
• Maintain a healthy cholesterol and triglyceride level.
• Maintain a healthy weight and exercise routine to keep your heart healthy.

Blood Clot: A blood clot is a clump or mass of blood formed when platelets, proteins, and cells in the blood adhere to one another. When you are injured, your body creates a blood clot to stop the bleeding. Though blood clots are helpful to stop bleeding, they may be harmful when abnormally formed within blood vessels as they block blood vessels and inhibit blood flow to essential organs such as the brain, heart or lungs and result in severe conditions. Obesity, smoking, cancer, a family history of blood clots, age over 65, and certain birth control pills or pregnancy are common risk factors for blood clots.
