Genentech offers a comprehensive product replacement program that, under specific circumstances, allows physicians to return certain Genentech products for replacement.

Genentech will provide credit or replacement for a product return only if it is authorized and after the actual physical product has been received and identified by GENCO Supply Chain Solutions. Return authorization is required for all returns except those in which replacements are provided for expired products.

The most common complication encountered during TNKase therapy is bleeding. Should serious bleeding (not controlled by local pressure) occur, any concomitant heparin or antiplatelet agents should be discontinued immediately.

In certain conditions (eg, recent major surgery, cerebrovascular disease, hypertension) the risk of TNKase therapy may be increased and should be weighed against the anticipated benefits. [See WARNINGS in full prescribing information].

Cholesterol embolism has been reported rarely in patients treated with all types of thrombolytic agents; the true incidence is unknown.

Coronary thrombolysis may result in arrhythmias associated with reperfusion. It is recommended that anti-arrhythmic therapy for bradycardia and/or ventricular irritability be available when TNKase is administered.

Please see full Prescribing Information for additional important safety information.
