About Carinase 15 MIU Injection

Carinase 15 MIU Injection belongs to a class of drugs called antithrombotic agents used to dissolve harmful blood clots in blood vessels. It is used in conditions such as peripheral vascular thromboembolism (blood clot in a large vein), cerebral thrombosis (blood clot in venous sinuses of the brain), cerebral infarction (stroke), myocardial infarction (heart attack),  and pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs).

Carinase 15 MIU Injection contains urokinase that works by converting plasminogen to the enzyme plasmin. Plasmin degrades fibrin clots as well as fibrinogen and some other plasma proteins. It effectively dissolves the blood clots, restoring the blood flow to the affected area.

Carinase 15 MIU Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional. In some cases, Carinase 15 MIU Injection may cause unusual bleeding, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. Most of these side effects do not necessitate medical treatment and fade away with time. Please visit your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, inform your doctor before taking Carinase 15 MIU Injection. Keep your doctor updated on your medical condition and medications to rule out any potential interactions. Avoid consuming alcohol along with Carinase 15 MIU Injection as it could increase the risk of bleeding. Carinase 15 MIU Injection should not be given to children because its safety and effectiveness have not been proven.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Blood Clot: A blood clot is a clump or mass of blood formed when platelets, proteins, and cells in the blood adhere to one another. When you are injured, your body creates a blood clot to stop the bleeding. Though blood clots are helpful to stop bleeding, they may be harmful when abnormally formed within blood vessels as they block blood vessels and inhibit blood flow to essential organs such as the brain, heart or lungs and result in severe conditions. Obesity, smoking, cancer, a family history of blood clots, age over 65, and certain birth control pills or pregnancy are common risk factors for blood clots.
