Which of the following best describes the adverse effects of thrombolytic therapy?

  1. Exclusive to dermatological reactions

  2. Primarily gastrointestinal disturbances

  3. Limited to respiratory complications

  4. Includes internal and intracranial bleeding

The correct answer is: Includes internal and intracranial bleeding

Thrombolytic therapy, also known as clot-busting therapy, works to dissolve dangerous blood clots in the body. However, this method also carries the potential risk of causing internal or intracranial bleeding, making option D the best fit. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they are not the most frequent or significant adverse effects of this therapy. While thrombolytic therapy may have other potential adverse effects, such as dermatological reactions or respiratory complications, they are not the most relevant or defining consequences of this type of treatment.
