In the past couple of years have you or a loved one undergone heart surgery? If so, were you administered the drug Trasylol? If you don’t know what kind of drugs you were administered during surgery I suggest that you find out as soon as possible. Have you had kidney problems that arose after your heart surgery and were administered Trasylol? If you were administered Trasylol I suggest you contact a medical professional as soon as possible. The drug Trasylol was used in heart surgeries to control the amount of bleeding during surgery. However, the used of Trasylol has been proven to be 50% more likely than other drugs to cause heart failure resulting in death. In November of 2007, Trasylol was recalled and as of may 29, 2008 all Trasylol products have been taken off of the market.

The FDA recalled Trasylol only after it received the results from a study showing that it increases the risk of kidney failure by 50% when used over other comparable drugs. The controversy that has been looming over Trasylol is that its manufacturer, Bayer Pharmaceuticals, had done their own study years before the recall providing information about the negative effects it has on its users. The shady part is that during a regular meeting with the FDA Bayer Pharmaceuticals knowingly kept the study from the FDA for fear that their #1 selling drug would be taken off of the market. From the time that Bayer found out about the chilling side effects of Trasylol to the time the FDA found about them, over 20,000 lives were taken because of the drug.

The shady practices of Bayer Pharmaceuticals show the irresponsible and unethical moves they commit to make money. Allowing that many lives to be affected by a drug to keep it from being recalled is a disgrace to the U.S. Another factor in this equation is that the cost of Trasylol costs $1000 and the cost of a comparable drug, without the kidney failure, costs only $50. Tell me why one should pay $950 for a drug that causes kidney failure leading to death, when they could pay on $50 to have a successful surgery? Makes no sense, right. If you had a choice, I doubt one person would pay the $1000 with a free trial of kidney disease. When you have a company that uses illegal practices that can reach all of America, it seems more susceptible to happening.

If you or a loved one has been injured or harmed by the use of Trasylol contact a medical professional immediately. Bayer pharmaceuticals must take responsibility for their actions, and pay the damages to all the families that have suffered on account on taking Trasylol.
