Intravenous Thrombolysis

This is a special treatment for certain stroke patients, where a clot-busting medicine is given through a vein to quickly restore blood flow to the brain.

Highlights of Thrombolysis Treatment:

• Effective for ischemic strokes if given within 4.5 hours of symptoms.
• Can greatly reduce disability and improve recovery chances.
• Requires specialized stroke-ready hospital facilities.
• Often followed by physiotherapy and rehabilitation.
• Emphasizes awareness of stroke warning signs for early arrival at hospital.
