About Urolyte Injection

Urolyte 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).

Urolyte 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.

Urolyte Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional. In some cases, Urolyte 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.

Keep your doctor updated on your medical condition and medications to rule out any potential interactions. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Urolyte Injection as it could increase the risk of bleeding. Urolyte Injection should not be given to children because its safety and effectiveness have not been proven.
