Question: 1 / 400

Which medication is a newer form of alteplase?

Tranexamic acid

Tenecteplase

Tenecteplase is a newer form of alteplase. This option is correct because it is a genetically modified version of alteplase that has been developed to have improved activity against blood clots and a longer half-life. The other options, Tranexamic acid, Urokinase, and Desmopressin are all unrelated medications and are not considered newer forms of alteplase. Tranexamic acid is an antifibrinolytic agent used to treat excessive bleeding. Urokinase is a thrombolytic agent used to dissolve blood clots. Desmopressin is a synthetic hormone used to treat certain bleeding disorders. Therefore, these options are incorrect and not newer forms of alteplase.
