Which drug is primarily used to flush clogged IV or arterial lines?

Alteplase
Tenecteplase
Aminocaproic acid
Streptokinase

The correct answer is: Alteplase

The drug that is primarily used to flush clogged IV or arterial lines is Alteplase. The other options, Tenecteplase, Aminocaproic acid, and Streptokinase, are not typically used for flushing clogged lines. Tenecteplase is used for treating heart attacks, Aminocaproic acid is used for controlling bleeding, and Streptokinase is used for dissolving blood clots in the body. Alteplase, on the other hand, is a clot-busting medication that is commonly used to clear clogged IV or arterial lines.
