What is the mechanism of action of fibrinolytic drugs?
Plasminogen is converted into plasmin by tissue plasminogen activator(tpa)..plasmin will cause degradation of insoluble fibrin polymers into soluble fibrin monomers...Fibrinolytics like streptokinase,urokinase,reteplase,alteplase are stimulants(+)of tpa...so cause more activation of plasmin
