Medical Description

Retefast Dry powder for injection is an emergency medicine used to dissolve a blood clot blocking blood flow during certain heart attacks. It contains reteplase, a clot-dissolving protein that helps break down fibrin, the mesh that holds a clot together. By opening the blocked blood vessel, reteplase can restore circulation to heart muscle and limit tissue injury when treatment is suitable. This injection is prepared and given into a vein by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic during emergency care.

Uses

  • Certain heart attacks: A coronary artery blockage can deprive heart muscle of oxygen; hospital treatment with this medicine may reopen the vessel and limit injury.

Contraindications

Do not use it if you have active internal bleeding, a recent serious head injury or surgery, previous bleeding in the brain, uncontrolled high blood pressure or a known bleeding disorder. Tell the doctor about a recent stroke, childbirth, stomach ulcer or any condition that increases bleeding risk.

Side effects

Precautions and Warnings

Pregnancy

Pregnancy

Tell the doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy or have recently given birth. The emergency team will decide whether the expected benefit justifies the bleeding risk.

Breast Feeding

Breast Feeding

Tell the doctor if you are breastfeeding. The emergency team will assess treatment and advise whether any temporary feeding change is needed.

Driving

Driving

Do not drive after receiving Retefast injection until your doctor confirms that you are medically stable and fit to drive.

Directions for Use

This injection will be given by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic. Do not self-inject. It is given into a vein after the doctor checks whether clot-dissolving treatment is suitable, and you will be monitored during emergency care.

Storage and disposal

Retefast Dry powder for injection is stored and prepared by the hospital under the cold-storage conditions stated on the pack. Protect the vial from light and do not use it if the vial or prepared solution is damaged or abnormal. The healthcare facility should dispose of unused medicine safely.

Quick Tips

  • Tell the emergency team about recent surgery, injury, childbirth or bleeding.
  • Mention every blood thinner, pain medicine and supplement you use.
  • Avoid unnecessary shaving, injections and activities that could cause injury after treatment unless the hospital team advises otherwise.
  • Report headache, weakness, bleeding, black stools or blood in vomit immediately.
  • Continue medicines started after treatment unless the treating doctor changes them.

Dosage

Overdose

An overdose can cause severe or life-threatening bleeding and low blood pressure. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

If you missed any dose of medicine, take it as soon as you remember. If it is time for your next dose, then skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dose schedule. Do not take a double dose of medicine to compensate for the missed one.

How does this medicine work?

Reteplase activates a natural clot-breaking protein in the blood. This forms plasmin, which cuts fibrin, the mesh holding a blood clot together. Breaking this mesh helps dissolve the clot and restore blood flow.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way Retefast injection works. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins and supplements you take. In particular, blood thinners, medicines that stop platelets sticking together, other clot-dissolving medicines and anti-inflammatory pain medicines may increase the risk of serious bleeding.
