RETELEX KIT INJECTION 2S

RETELEX KIT INJECTION 2S is a tissue plasminogen activator indicated for the treatment of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) to lower the risk of heart failure and death. STEMI is a very serious type of heart attack that occurs due to blockage of the heart’s major arteries.

In some cases, RETELEX KIT INJECTION 2S may cause side effects such as bleeding, bruising at the injection site, nausea or vomiting. You are advised to talk to your doctor if any of the side effects persist or worsen.
 
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The efficacy and safety of RETELEX KIT INJECTION 2S in children have not been established. Inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking and your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects/interactions.
