CompositionSupraplase 40mg Injection 1 is used in hospital for the emergency treatment of a heart attack (acute myocardial infarction). It works to dissolve the blood clot blocking a coronary artery, helping restore blood flow to the heart muscle and reduce lasting heart damage.
It contains a thrombolytic (clot-dissolving) medicine from the plasminogen activator group. It is given as an injection by trained doctors, ideally as soon as possible after your symptoms begin. You will be closely monitored throughout treatment and for a period afterwards to check your heart rhythm and watch for any bleeding.
After this emergency treatment, your doctor will likely recommend long-term heart-healthy habits, such as a balanced diet low in saturated fat, regular physical activity as advised, and stopping smoking, to help protect your heart going forward.
Before receiving this medicine, tell your doctor about any history of bleeding disorders, recent surgery, stroke, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or if you are taking blood-thinning medicines. Tell your doctor immediately if you notice unusual bleeding, bruising or swelling. This medicine should only be given in a hospital or clinical setting equipped to manage cardiac emergencies.
