The Devastating Side Effects of Trasylol

Monday, September 15th, 2008

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.
