The drug Trasylol was put on the market almost fifteen years ago that was once Bayer Pharmaceuticalâ€™s highest selling off the market drug. Trasylol was primarily used in open-heart surgeries to control the amount of bleeding so that surgeons could efficiently and effectively get to the area that needed relief. However this once wonder drug was proven to cause kidney failure and other complication in those patients who were administered the drug during surgery. Trasylol has been directly linked to cause kidney complications leading to failure and eventually death. However, it took almost 13 years for any of these negative effects to surface. In 2005, Bayer pharmaceuticals did their own private study on the true effects of the drug. What they found ending up proving that Trasylol directly caused kidney failure. So then immediately you would think that Bayer would identify the FDA on their findings and get Trasylol off the market as soon as possible, Wrong. Bayer did the exact opposite, they decided to hide their findings and allow the drug to remain on the market without any type of warnings. Luckily, almost two years later an individual study was done on the negative effects of Trasylol and the truth was finally out in the open. The FDA was immediately notified and Trasylol was recalled and all remaining products were taken off of the market.
However despite the unethical acts of Bayer, there is more to this tragic story. Trasylol sold for $1000 per dosage, while other comparable drugs sold at $50 per dosage. I know we have all heard of pharmaceutical companies and hospitals getting together making illegal alliances, but this is unheard of. Why would so many hospitals allow Trasylol to become the leading drug in its arena while there were other comparable drugs on the market for severely less money, and that did not cause kidney failure? You have to wonder what types of incentives were given to these hospitals from Bayer to make Trasylol the most used drug in heart surgery. Not only did Bayer Pharmaceutical keep critical findings from the public, but it also seems that they might have been making illegal moves to ensure that the drug was used. These types of action are not the kind of actions that should be taken by one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. No one in there right mind would want to pay $950 to get kidney failure, come on Bayer were smarter than that.

Bayer Pharmaceuticalâ€™s So Called All-Star Drug Trasylol Fails

For over 14 years, Bayer and the rest of the world thought that their drug Trasylol was helping patients and taking names. The drug had been on the market for over 14 years when it was found out that the drug was directly linked to causing kidney complications and failure. Trasylol was a very common drug that was used during heart surgeries to control the amount of bleeding. The need to control the amount of bleeding during these types of surgeries is imperative to the success of the procedure. Surgeons must be able to work on the heart without having to deal with large amounts of blood getting in the way. Therefore the need for this type of drug was in high demand due to the number of heart surgeries that needed to be taken place. One of the reasons for this high demand was due to the poor diet of the American public. Bad eating habits cause the arteries in your heart to become blocked, thus needing a bypass of the heart. Despite the need for the drug, the fact of the matter is that Trasylol was directly linked to cause kidney complications and failure.
One of the most significant reasons that Trasylol has caused such a stir is the fact that Bayer knew about the negative side effects associated with taking the drug, yet decided to keep that information on the down low. Bayer did their own study on the negative side effects and found the devastating inclinations to be true. They did not give this information to the FDA, or anyone else. They willingly knew that their drug was causing kidney failure and decided to do nothing about it. This went on for two years until the BART study was conducted by individual practitioners who notified the FDA immediately. This news came as a shock to many because things were finally starting to make sense. People who had undergone heart surgery for the past fourteen years could now identify why they had kidney complications and failure. People who had lost parents, brothers, sisters, and all in between could now put to rest why their loved ones had died. In some cases people did not even realize that they were administered Trasylol because it is not very common to be interested in the brand of drug that you were given during surgery. Therefore many people still did not know that their kidney failure was due to Trasylol used in their heart surgery.
If you or a loved one was directly and negatively affected from being administered Trasylol, contact super lawyers at Napoli Bern Ripka, LLP. They have the experienced and knowledge necessary to stand up for you in a court of law against one of the biggest and most commonly known Pharmaceutical companies in the world.

The Devastating Side Effects of Trasylol

People who have suffered from kidney complications maybe be caused by the use of the drug Trasylol. Trasylol, manufactured by Bayer Pharmaceuticals, is used during heart surgeries to control the amount of blood. If someone had a heart surgery in the past couple of years, their kidney failure might be because of the drug that was used during this surgery. People who have suffered from kidney complications that may even become fatal can now determine if Trasylol was the root of the evils. Trasylol lawyers are working around the clock as the number of people who are unsure if their kidney problems could possibly be stemming from their Trasylol use. In many instances, the patient is not given the knowledge as to what type of drug is administered to them during surgery. Therefore many have no idea about the possible occurrence of heart surgery, Trasylol and kidney failure.

Bayer Pharmaceuticals, manufacturer of Trasylol, made many unethical decisions that contributed to the death of thousands. Trasylol did their own test two years before the negative effects were released, aiding to the devastation of many. Bayer conducted their own tests, which found that the side effects of Trasylol were deadly. However they did not release these results to either the FDA or the public. Since Bayer decided to keep their findings a secret, Trasylol remained on the market. For two years Bayer knew what the true side effects of Trasylol were, however they decided to do nothing about it. Many people who underwent heart surgery were subjected to Trasylol, which directly contributed to their deteriorating health. When one undergoes any type of invasive surgery such as heart surgery, the types of drugs used during the procedure are generally not of a concern to the patient. Therefore, one could have even seen warnings about Trasylol on the news but they were never aware that they had been given the drug. Having no knowledge about the type of drug that a patient was administered during their surgery is keeping them out of the no to why they are now seeing signs of kidney complications.

Instances of kidney complications and failure occurred in over 20,000 patients from the time that Bayer found out about the negative side effects to the time Trasylol was actually taken off the market. If Bayer would have done the responsible thing and told the public about their findings thousands of lives could have been saved. However this did not happen & Bayer did not release their findings. Now Bayer has to deal with these consequences and take responsibility for their actions.

Earlier Trasylol Recall Could Have Spared 20,000 Lives

admin — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 14:25:21 +0000

One of the lead authors of the study, Paul HÃ©bert, critical-care physician at the Ottawa Hospital in Ottawa, Canada, said that Trasylol should not be used in high-risk cardiac surgery patients. The bad thing about this whole circumstance is that the study could have been done ten years ago, which would have undoubtedly saved many lives. Also, during this economic slump, the high cost of Trasylol is not helping anyone. It was reported that as of early May, there are 83 Trasylol lawsuits pending.

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â The suspension of Trasylol, a drug used in heart surgeries sales that has been proven to be fatal, has caused for much talk. Trasylol lawsuits from the families of those affected by the drugâ€™s side-effects will be filed soon, and a Trasylol class-action lawsuit can not be far off. With fatalities over 22,000, Bayer is going to be struggling to find a way out. The drug was speculated to have problems back in 2006, yet it was still approved by the FDA. The reason for this is that Bayer failed to present their research about the relation of kidney failure & Trasylol to the FDA in their September 2006 meeting. The chairman of that FDA advisory panel, Dr. William Hiatt, said that he would have voted for a Trasylol recall back in 2006 if Bayer had not withheld the data from their study
