After intravenous thrombolytic therapy, it is important to avoid intramuscular injections for at least 24 hours due to the increased risk of bleeding. Thrombolytic therapy dissolves blood clots and significantly increases the risk of bleeding, making intramuscular injections potentially dangerous during this period.
