Adverse Reactions
The most frequent adverse reaction associated with Actilyse is bleeding in different forms resulting in a fall in haematocrit and/or haemoglobin values.
Adverse reactions listed as follows are classified according to frequency and system organ class. Frequency groupings are defined according to the following convention: Very common (≥1/10), Common (≥1/100 to <1/10), Uncommon (≥1/1,000 to <1/100), Rare (≥1/10,000 to <1/1,000), Very rare (<1/10,000), Not known (cannot be estimated from the available data).
Except for intracerebral/intracranial haemorrhage as adverse reaction in the indication stroke as well as for reperfusion arrhythmias in the indication acute myocardial infarction, there is no medical reason to assume that the qualitative and quantitative adverse reaction profile of Actilyse in the indications acute massive pulmonary embolism and acute ischaemic stroke is different from the profile in the indication acute myocardial infarction. (See Table 8.)

**Cardiac disorders: As with other thrombolytic agents, the events previously described under the respective section have been reported as sequelae of myocardial infarction and / or thrombolytic administration. These cardiac events can be life-threatening and may lead to death.
***Frequency calculation: This adverse reaction has been observed in post-marketing experience. With 95 % certainty, the frequency category is not greater than "rare", but might be lower. Precise frequency estimation is not possible as the adverse drug reaction did not occur in a clinical trial database of 8299 patients.
Death and permanent disability are reported in patients who have experienced stroke (including intracranial bleeding) and other serious bleeding episodes.
Reporting of suspected adverse reaction: Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important. It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions.
