Off-label uses

• Small-vessel occlusion by microthrombi

• Peripheral arterial thromboembolism

Contraindications

• Hypersensitivity to drug or its components (Cathflo Activase)

• Seizures, stroke, aneurysm, intracranial neoplasm, bleeding diathesis

Precautions

Use cautiously in:

• hypersensitivity to anistreplase or streptokinase

• GI or genitourinary bleeding, ophthalmic hemorrhage, organ biopsy, severe hepatic or renal disease

• elderly patients

• pregnant or breastfeeding patients

• children.

Administration

See Be aware that intracranial hemorrhage must be ruled out before therapy begins.

See To treat acute ischemic CVA, give within 3 hours of initial signs or symptoms.

See If uncontrolled bleeding occurs, stop infusion and notify prescriber immediately.

• Give I.V. only, using controlled-infusion pump.

• Reconstitute with unpreserved sterile water for injection. May be further diluted with normal saline solution or D5W.
