What is a major contraindication for the use of thrombolytic drugs?

Drug allergy
Chronic kidney disease
Type 2 diabetes
Asthma

The correct answer is: Drug allergy

A major contraindication for the use of thrombolytic drugs is a drug allergy. This is because thrombolytic drugs can cause severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reactions in individuals who are allergic to the medication. The other options, such as chronic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes, and asthma, may be considered risk factors for complications with thrombolytic drugs, but they are not contraindications. This means that while caution may need to be taken in these cases, they do not necessarily prevent the use of thrombolytic drugs.
