Triple bypass surgeries are intended to relieve some stress and pressure on the heart muscle. This is a very invasive surgery in which can cause serious damage if done incorrectly. However, in over 20,000 cases recently is has been the drug administered during surgery that you should have been looking out for. The drug Trasylol was administered in triple bypass surgeries to stop bleeding. However, it turned out that Trasylol was linked to cause kidney failure, heart problems, strokes, and even deaths in patients who took the drug during the surgery. The wacky part about this is that most patients have no idea what kinds of drugs they are administered during surgery. In the past, none of this information was of value to the patient unless they were allergic to it.
Trasylol was taken off the market in November of 2007, in which the FDA found that it was linked to kidney failure, heart problems, and strokes and was 50% more likely to cause all of these negative side effects than other comparative drugs. Bayer pharmaceuticals, the manufacturer of Trasylol, conducted their own study which they found Trasylol to link to all of the negative side effects. However, in a regular meeting with the FDA Bayer decided not to share this information, thus aiding to the deaths of 20,000 who died from the use of Trasylol. If people knew that when going into triple bypass surgery they would be susceptible to side effects that were unknown, I’m sure they would have reconsidered the surgery.
If you find yourself in a situation where you recently had triple bypass surgery and are now experiencing kidney failure, heart problems, or strokes contact you doctor immediately for you may have been administered Trasylol and not even be aware of it. Next, contact a Trasylol lawyer for they have the experience, knowledge, and skill sets necessary to deal with pharmaceutical giants, insurance companies, and medical institutions. Don’t let Bayer Pharmaceuticals get away with allowing thousands of people to die because of their drug Trasylol.
