Correct answer is No: None of the medications or conditions listed (metformin for diabetes, antihypertensive medications and immunotherapy for psoriasis) are contraindications for thrombolysis in the context of treating an acute ischemic stroke. However, careful evaluation is still necessary to ensure that no other contraindications exist before administering thrombolytic therapy.
