Streptolev 1500000Iu Inj

Streptolev 1500000Iu Inj 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.

Streptolev 1500000Iu Inj 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.

Streptolev 1500000Iu Inj should be administered to patients only in a hospital setting by an experienced healthcare professional. Streptolev 1500000Iu Inj may cause certain common side effects, including allergic reactions, hypotension, tachycardia, bradycardia, hypotension, heart rate and rhythm disorders, angina pectoris, nausea, diarrhoea, epigastric pain, vomiting, headache, back pain, musculoskeletal pain, chills, fever, asthenia, elevations of serum transaminases and bilirubin. These side effects usually go away on their own. If you develop any other serious side effects, such as vision problems while using Streptolev 1500000Iu Inj, consult your doctor immediately.

It is unknown whether Streptokinase is excreted in human milk. Breast milk should be discarded during the first 24 hours following thrombolytic therapy.

Streptolev 1500000Iu Inj 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.
