Reply To: STABILITY OF STREPTOKINASE INJ

[Naveed Rivas]

In our hospital, we prepare ALTEPLASE in conc of 2mg/2ml stored in freezer to clear occluded venous catheter. Which is stable for 1 month.

A regimen of alteplase is safe and effective in restoring flow to occluded central venous access devices compared to streptokinase because of the risk of life-threatening anaphylaxis.
