Medical Description

Retefuse kit is an emergency injection used to dissolve a blood clot blocking an artery of the heart during an acute heart attack. It contains reteplase, an enzyme that starts the body's natural clot-clearing process. Reteplase breaks down the fibrin mesh that holds the clot together, helping blood flow return and limiting injury to heart muscle. The kit is prepared and given by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic, and it is not for self-injection.

Uses

  • Acute heart attack: Reteplase dissolves the clot blocking blood flow to the heart, helping restore circulation and limit damage to heart muscle.

Contraindications

If you are allergic to any ingredient of this medicine, do not use it. It must not be given to people with active bleeding, a recent serious injury or surgery, previous bleeding inside the brain, uncontrolled very high blood pressure, or another condition that makes serious bleeding unsafe. The treating team will check these risks before administration.

Side effects

  • Bleeding: The enzyme can affect clotting throughout the body, so bleeding from gums, needle sites or internal areas may occur. Alert the medical team immediately.
  • Bruising at injection site: The needle site may become purple or tender as clotting is reduced. Do not rub it; tell the medical team if it enlarges.
  • Nausea: Emergency treatment and reduced blood flow can upset the stomach, causing queasiness. Tell the medical team, especially if vomiting starts.
  • Vomiting: Reteplase treatment may be followed by vomiting, which can worsen weakness or bleeding concerns. Report blood or coffee-coloured material urgently.

Precautions and Warnings

Pregnancy

Pregnancy

Use Retefuse during pregnancy only when the emergency benefit clearly outweighs possible risk and the treating doctor decides it is necessary.

Breast Feeding

Breast Feeding

Tell the treating doctor if you are breastfeeding. Information about reteplase during breastfeeding is limited, so the medical team will decide how treatment should be managed.

Driving

Driving

Driving is not appropriate during the emergency treatment and recovery period. Follow the medical team's advice before driving again.

Directions for Use

This injection will be given by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic. Do not self-inject. The healthcare professional will reconstitute and inspect the solution before use. It should be clear and colourless, without floating particles, and the team will administer it using the prescribed emergency procedure.

Storage and disposal

Retefuse kit must be stored and handled by the hospital or clinic according to its product instructions. Do not use a prepared solution if it is cloudy, discoloured or contains particles. Unused material must be disposed of by the healthcare facility.

Quick Tips

  • Tell the medical team about recent surgery, injury, bleeding or injections before treatment.
  • Use a soft toothbrush and an electric razor for several days after treatment if your doctor advises.
  • Avoid unnecessary injections or blood draws after treatment unless medically required.
  • Report bleeding, severe back pain, sudden weakness, severe headache or black stools immediately.

Dosage

Overdose

Too much reteplase may cause severe or internal bleeding, weakness, dizziness, severe headache, vomiting blood or black stools. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

This medicine is given as an emergency treatment by a healthcare professional, so a missed administration must be managed immediately by the treating team. 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?

The enzyme in Retefuse kit binds to fibrin, a protein forming the framework of a blood clot. It activates a natural blood protein, which then breaks down fibrin strands. As the clot breaks apart, blood flow through the blocked heart artery can improve.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way Retefuse works. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins and supplements you take. In particular, tell the medical team about blood thinners such as warfarin, heparin, fondaparinux or dabigatran, antiplatelet medicines such as aspirin or clopidogrel, and medicines that increase bleeding risk. These combinations may cause severe bleeding and require close monitoring.
