[not quite PK/PD - but a quiet day ;-) maybe there is a PK/PD based answer

Our institution currently uses TPA for everyone.  However, after
reading the guidelines from PSAP III, Streptokinase is indicated

Is anyone doing it this way ??

Thank you.

We are doing this in elderly people although not on those with hypertension
and/or any reason to suspect neurological disorders.
