  • Trasylol Lawyers and Attorneys
    Helping Victims of Trasylol Fight for their Rights

    As certain surgical procedures such as heart bypass surgery grow in number across the United States, doctors have found different medications as an aid in these surgeries, most significantly those that help to control bleeding inside the patient so that the surgical process is less likely to encounter complications.

    One of the world leaders in medication that helped to prevent bleeding in this regard was known as Trasylol. Trasylol was used in countless surgeries in the United States and around the world, which only made matters worse when it was discovered that the use of this medication led to the development of serious side effects. If you have suffered as a result of Trasylol, contact the defective drugs lawyers at Parilman & Associates today to schedule a free initial consultation.

    Trasylol Information

    Trasylol is manufactured by Bayer A.G and was distributed throughout the world after it gained approval from regulating bodies, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States, which approved the drug in 1993. It is a prescription drug that is injected into the patient prior to surgery in order to inhibit bleeding. It's still possible that millions of people used Trasylol in furtherance of heart bypass and other surgeries.

    Problems and Side Effects

    After more than a decade on the market, troubling reports and conclusions from studies began to surface, ultimately prompting a story to be done by the television show 60 Minutes that detailed the seriousness and the extent of the issue of Trasylol and side effects. Below is a brief look at some of these discovered side effects:
    • Kidney failure
    • Heart attacks
    • Strokes
    • Ecephalopathy
    • Death
    The most troubling aspect of this issue is that an estimated 22,000 people have died as a result of using Trasylol and another 11,000 people must undergo regular kidney dialysis in order to deal with the damage caused.

    Results

    As a result of all of this information, the FDA ultimately announced a recall of Trasylol by Bayer amid reports that some of this information may have been available to them prior to these reports surfacing. Lawsuits have been filed in response, and if you are one of the many who has been harmed by Trasylol, contact the defective drugs attorneys at Parilman & Associates today to schedule a free initial consultation.
