Streptokinase is an extracellular metallo-enzyme produced by beta-haemolytic streptococcus and is used as an effective and cheap clot-dissolving medication in some cases of myocardial infarction (heart attack) and pulmonary embolism. ...

An injection is a method of putting liquid into the body with a hollow needle and a syringe which is pierced through the skin long enough for the material to be forced into the body.
An injection follows a parenteral route of administration, that is, its effect is not necessarily local to the area in which the injection is administered; it is systematic.
Depot injections may be available as certain forms of a drug, such as decanoate salts or esters.
The material injected may be a test substance (as in determining allergic sensitivity or immunity to a disease), an anesthetic, a therapeutic drug, a nutrient (in cases where intravenous feeding is necessary), blood, or blood plasma (see blood transfusion).
An intracutaneous injection is the introduction of a small amount of fluid between the skin layers.
In an injection by means of a jet injector gun, fluid penetrates through the skin by means of air pressure and there is no visible puncture mark.
