Tenecteplase

Hello -
We recently added tenecteplase to our formulary for use in MI. We also had a request to add tenecteplase for use in stroke. Has anyone else added tenecteplase to formulary for use in both indications? What safety measures have you put in place to help ensure that the correct dosing is used for each indication. We have hospitals within our system that are not 24/7 to think about as well.
Thanks -
