How to sue Bayer for Trasylol related deaths?

If a loved one of yours died after open heart surgery, it is time for you to stop grieving and start fighting, because that life would have been saved if yet another drug company would have placed respect for human life above profits. The recall of Trasylol came somewhat late -- by that time precious lives had been lost.

Bayer, a company that makes Trasylol, the drug used to stem bleeding during open heart surgery, did not disclose all the dangers even though it was aware of them. According to Dr. Dennis Mangano, the drug has been linked to kidney failure requiring dialysis and increased risk of death.

The time has come to find an attorney who specializes in pharmaceutical related litigation to see if you can sue Bayer for wrongful death.

Avandia black box warning

Looks as if there no recall of Avandia despite its serious side effects. GlaxoSmithKline, like any other drug company, continues to deny that the drug is dangerous, but was forced to add a black box warning by the FDA. Generally, a black box warning means that you should not take this drug unless you have no other option. It is extremely important not to take this drug if you suffer from diabetes but also have heart diseases or are at high risk of suffering a heart attack. You must also insist that your doctor monitor you more carefully for cardiovascular complications.

If you or a family member have had any personal injuries as a result of taking rosiglitazone, you might also want to speak to an attorney to find out if you have a legal case against the drugmaker and demand compensation.
