The frequency of adverse reactions that may occur during therapy is given in the following gradation: very often (≥1 / 10); often (≥1 / 100. <1/10); infrequently (≥1 / 1,000, <1/100); rarely (≥1 / 10,000, <1/1 000); very rarely (<1/10 000); frequency (frequency can not be estimated from available data).
Application for myocardial infarction, Embolism of the pulmonary artery and ischemic stroke in an acute period
The most common undesirable reaction associated with the use of AKTILIZE. is bleeding (≥1 / 100, <1/10: massive bleeding:> 1:10: any bleeding) leading to a decrease in hematocrit and / or hemoglobin.
There may be a hemorrhage in any part or cavity of the body and lead to a life-threatening situation, temporary disability or death.
Bleeding associated with thrombolytic therapy can be divided into two main categories:
- external bleeding (usually from the sites of puncture or damage to blood vessels);
- internal bleeding in any part or body cavity.
With intracranial hemorrhages, the following neurologic symptoms may be associated: drowsiness, aphasia, hemiparesis, convulsions.
The indication of fat embolism, not observed in the population of patients participating in clinical trials, is based on spontaneous reporting.
Compared with studies with myocardial infarction, the number of patients with pulmonary embolism and stroke who participated in clinical trials (within 0 - 4.5 hours from the onset of symptoms of these diseases) was very small. Therefore, small numerical differences noted when compared with data obtained from myocardial infarction were most likely due to a small sample size. In addition to intracranial hemorrhage (as an adverse event) in stroke and reperfusion arrhythmias (as a side effect of myocardial infarction), there are no clinical grounds for suggesting qualitative and quantitative differences in the spectrum of side effects of AKTILIZE in case of pulmonary embolism and acute ischemic stroke or myocardial infarction.
Immune system disorders:
Rarely: anaphylactoid reactions, they are usually weakly expressed, but in some cases can be life threatening; rashes, urticaria, bronchospasm, angioedema, a decrease in blood pressure, shock, or any other hypersensitivity reactions.
If these reactions develop, conventional antiallergic therapy should be used. It was found that a relatively large proportion of patients with similar reactions had angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors at the same time. Anaphylactic reactions (in the strict sense of this concept, that is, conditioned IgE) on AKTILIZE are not known. In rare cases (less than 0.1%) transient formation of antibodies to AKTILIZE (in low titres) was observed, but the clinical significance of this phenomenon has not been established.
Disorders from the side of the organ of vision:
Rarely: hemorrhage in the eyes.
Disorders from the cardiovascular system:
Often: bleeding (such as hematoma)
Rarely: pericardial bleeding, embolism, which may be accompanied by the corresponding consequences from the affected internal organs, bleeding to the parenchymal organs (such as hepatic bleeding, pulmonary hemorrhage).
Disturbances from the respiratory organs. organs of the thoracic cavity and mediastinum:
Infrequently: bleeding from the respiratory tract (such as bleeding from the pharynx, hemoptysis, nosebleeds).
Disorders from the gastrointestinal tract:
Often: gastrointestinal bleeding (such as gastric bleeding, bleeding from a stomach ulcer, bleeding from the rectum, bloody vomiting, melena, bleeding from the oral cavity).
Infrequently: bleeding from the gums.
Rarely: retroperitoneal bleeding (eg, retroperitoneal hematoma), nausea.
Unknown: vomiting.
Nausea and vomiting can also be symptoms of myocardial infarction.
Disturbances from the skin and subcutaneous fat:
Often: ecchymosis.
Disorders from the kidneys and urinary tract:
Often: urogenital bleeding (such as hematuria, bleeding from the urinary tract).
General disorders and reactions at the injection site:
Often: bleeding at the puncture site, bleeding at the injection site (eg, bruising at the site of the catheter, bleeding at the site of the catheter).
Reactions, identified by special studies:
Infrequently: lowering of blood pressure.
Unknown: fever.
Damage, toxic effects and complications due to procedures associated with the use of the drug:
Unknown: fat embolism.
The need for surgical and therapeutic procedures:
Unknown: need for transfusions.
Application for myocardial infarction
Heart Disease:
Infrequently: reperfusion arrhythmias (arrhythmia, extrasystole, atrial fibrillation, atrioventricular block from I degree to complete blockade, bradycardia, tachycardia, ventricular arrhythmia, ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia). Reperfusion arrhythmias can lead to cardiac arrest, endanger life and require the use of conventional antiarrhythmic therapy.
The use of myocardial infarction and pulmonary embolism
Impaired nervous system:
Often: intracranial hemorrhage (such as, a hemorrhage in a brain, cerebral hematoma, hemorrhagic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke transformation, intracranial hematoma, subarachnoid hemorrhage).
Application in ischemic stroke (acute period)
Impaired nervous system:
Often: intracranial hemorrhage (such as, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral hematoma, hemorrhagic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke transformation, intracranial hematoma, subarachnoid hemorrhage).
The main undesirable phenomenon was symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (their frequency reached 10%). However, there was no increase in the incidence of complications or overall mortality.
