Thrombolytic therapy is a common treatment used to dissolve blood clots in the body. It involves the administration of medication, called thrombolytics or clot-busting drugs, that work to break down the clot and restore blood flow to the affected area. This therapy is typically used in the treatment of conditions such as heart attacks, strokes, and deep vein thrombosis. Thrombolytic therapy is most effective when administered promptly after the onset of symptoms, as it can help to prevent serious complications and improve patient outcomes. However, there are also risks associated with thrombolytic therapy, such as bleeding and allergic reactions, so it is important for healthcare providers to carefully assess each patient before initiating treatment.
