What is a contraindication for antifibrinolytics?

  1. Vitamin D deficiency

  2. Disseminated intravascular coagulation

  3. High cholesterol

  4. Calcium deficiency

The correct answer is: Disseminated intravascular coagulation

A contraindication for antifibrinolytics is Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC). This means that antifibrinolytics should not be used in patients who are already experiencing DIC, as it may worsen the condition or have adverse effects on their blood clotting abilities. The other options, such as Vitamin D deficiency, high cholesterol, and calcium deficiency, do not directly affect the effectiveness or safety of antifibrinolytics and are therefore incorrect. It is important for healthcare professionals to know the contraindications for medications in order to ensure safe and appropriate treatment for patients.
