Urokinase is a medication used to dissolve blood clots, also known as a thrombolytic agent. Some synonyms for urokinase include Abbokinase, Kinlytic, and Urokinease. These medications work by breaking down the fibrin in blood clots, allowing them to dissolve and preventing life-threatening conditions such as stroke and pulmonary embolism. Other thrombolytic agents that can be used as alternatives to urokinase include alteplase, reteplase, and tenecteplase. The choice of medication depends on the condition being treated and the individual patient's medical history. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most suitable medication for their needs.
