Which Is Tissue Plasminogen Activator?

Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is an intravenous medicine given for ischemic stroke – a stroke caused by a blood clot – that can dissolve the stroke-causing clot. Studies show that people who receive tPA within 3 hours – up to 4.5 hours in some patients – have better and more complete recoveries.

Which drug is tissue plasminogen activator?

Recombinant biotechnology has allowed tPA to be manufactured in labs, and these synthetic products are called recombinant tissue plasminogen activators (rtPA). Examples of these drugs include alteplase, reteplase, and tenecteplase.
