Entire Body System
- Intravenous Administration
All patients received catheter-directed infusion of reteplase (0.5 U/h) in combination with intravenous administration of abciximab (0.25-mg/kg bolus followed by 0.125 microg/kg/min infusion) for 12 hours without systemic heparinization. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prior to administration, the product should be visually inspected for particulate matter and discoloration. DOSING (Adult): Retavase® (Reteplase) is for intravenous administration only. [globalrph.com]
Reteplase is for intravenous administration only. Reteplase is administered as two bolus injections of 10 units each. Each bolus is administered over 2 minutes. The second bolus is given 30 minutes after the first bolus injection. [mims.com]
Reteplase dosage sponsored Reteplase® (Reteplase) is for intravenous administration only. Reteplase® is administered as a 10 + 10 unit double-bolus injection. Two 10 unit bolus injections are required for a complete treatment. [ndrugs.com]

Pathophysiology
Abstract Pathophysiological aspects of acute myocardial infarction include altered hemostatic and fibrinolytic systems as well as platelet activation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] plasminogen activators (Alteplase, Reteplase and Tenecteplase) and the non fibrin-specific activators (Streptokinase or Urokinase plasminogen activator), the former are anticipated to be more efficacious and safer than nonspecific agents because of their pathophysiologically [jpma.org.pk]
Prevention
These artefactual changes of PA or plasmin activities have been prevented by arginine stabilization of blood samples of myocardial infarction patients treated with plasminogen activators. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
