Q: Whats the difference between Boluoke® and other Lumbrokinase products?
A: Boluoke is the only Lumbrokinase product that has undergone all phases of clinical trials and standardised enzymatic strength against tPA and urokinase activities. Lumbrokinase extraction and purification methods determine the composition of the various enzyme fractions and enzymatic strength, making Boluoke® unique from other lumbrokinase products on the market.

Q: If i'm on blood thinning medication can i take Boluoke®? 
A: Lumbrokinase has been shown to safely coexist with blood thinning agents in various clinical studies. It does not have any adverse interactions and does not increase the likelihood of bleeding beyond what is inherent to blood thinners. However, patients should always consult with their physicians before taking Boluoke while on any prescriptions.

While some high-risk patients may continue taking a small dosage of Boluoke® post-surgery, it is important to consult with a physician first.
