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.

Trasylol recall

The story with drug companies is always the same. They know that their drugs are dangerous and could even killing the people but lust for profit is so high that they keep pushing the drug as long as they can.

Then they get caught. And that is the point at which Bayer has arrived with regards to anti-bleeding drug Trasylol (aprotinin), which has been linked to a higher risk of death. The drug is used during heart bypass surgery.

For as long as one year a mountain of data had shown risk of death, kidney failure and strokes but only after regulators in several countries forced it, the company has decided to recall it. As expected, the lawsuits by victims will be filed soon.
