What is the primary use of fibrinolytics?

  1. Lower blood cholesterol

  2. Prevent plaque buildup

  3. Treat acute ischemic stroke

  4. Reduce blood pressure

The correct answer is: Treat acute ischemic stroke

Fibrinolytics are medications that are primarily used to treat acute ischemic stroke. These medications work by dissolving blood clots that are blocking blood flow to the brain, thereby helping to restore blood flow and potentially preventing further damage caused by the stroke. Lowering blood cholesterol, preventing plaque buildup, and reducing blood pressure are not the primary uses of fibrinolytics.
