Overview

Mirel 18mg injection contains an active component called reteplase. It is a tissue plasminogen activator (a medicine that breaks up a blood clot and restores blood flow). It is used to dissolve a blood clot that causes a heart attack (acute myocardial infarction) within 12 hours of symptoms arising. However, it is important to make a note that this drug may cause the risk of excessive bleeding and should be administered only by your doctor. Patients taking heparin and aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) should notify their doctor before starting any new medication to prevent the possibility of increased bleeding risk.
