Lifokinase 750000IU Injection

Lifokinase 750000IU Injection belongs to the class of medicines called antifibrinolytic agents. It is used to dissolve blood clots that have formed in the blood vessels in various conditions such as Intravascular dissolution of thrombi and emboli in extensive deep vein thrombosis, Pulmonary embolism, Acute or subacute occlusion of peripheral arteries, Central retinal venous and Arterial thrombosis.

Lifokinase 750000IU Injection contains Streptokinase. Streptokinase creates a highly specific 1:1 enzymatic complex with plasminogen that transforms inactive plasminogen molecules into active plasmin. Plasmin destroys fibrin clots, as well as fibrinogen and other plasma proteins. This, in turn, causes the breakdown of blood clots.

Lifokinase 750000IU Injection should be administered to patients only in a hospital setting by an experienced healthcare professional.

Lifokinase 750000IU Injection contains ‘Streptokinase’, which belongs to the class of anti-fibrinolytic agents. It acts by regulating the breakdown of blood clots in the body. It blocks the release and action of plasmin, an enzyme essential for the breakdown of clots in the blood. This effect helps to slow down abnormal bleeding.
