A patient brought to a hospital with myocardial infarction is normally immediately given:

1. Penicillin
2. Streptokinase

Streptokinase is a thrombolytic agent used to dissolve the clot causing the myocardial infarction, restoring blood flow quickly. Penicillin treats bacterial infections, cyclosporin-A is an immunosuppressant, and statins are used for cholesterol lowering and prevention, not immediate clot lysis.
