Thrombolytic agents are drugs that dissolve or break up blood clots in the coronary artery. They may be given via an IV. Early treatment, within three hours of the heart attack, offers the best chance for good results. Your medical history, age, and condition may prevent treatment with these drugs.

Common thrombolytic agents include:

Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA)
Streptokinase
Reteplase
Tenecteplase
Lanoteplase
