Question: 1 / 50

Which is a common adverse effect of thrombolytic drugs?

High fever

Muscle growth

Internal bleeding

One common adverse effect of thrombolytic drugs is internal bleeding. This is because thrombolytic drugs work by breaking down blood clots, which can also result in excessive bleeding in areas of the body where it is not intended. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they are not commonly associated with thrombolytic drugs. High fever and muscle growth may be side effects of some medications, but they are not specific to thrombolytic drugs. Increased vision is also not a common adverse effect of thrombolytic drugs.
