1. What Metalyse is and what it is used for

Metalyse is a powder and solvent for solution for injection.

Metalyse belongs to a group of medicines called thrombolytics. These medicines help to dissolve blood clots. Tenecteplase is a recombinant fibrin-specific plasminogen activator.

Metalyse is used to treat heart attacks (myocardial infarctions) within 6 hours of the start of symptoms and helps to dissolve blood clots that have formed in the heart's blood vessels. This helps to prevent damage caused by heart attacks and has been shown to save lives.
