What is Trasylol?

During surgery, many patients are given Trasylol to prevent substantial blood loss.  It is created from a cow lung extract, Trasylol is an amino acid that stops blood from coagulating.  Trasylol slows down fibrinolysis, which can lead to the separation of blood clots.  However, the drug has recently been linked to such dire side effects as heart attack, stroke, and acute renal failure in patients.

Trasylol Lawsuits

The Food and Drug Administration issued an advisory on February 9, 2006 to alert doctors to limit the use of Trasylol in patients during coronary artery bypass surgery due to the risk of potentially-fatal kidney trauma. There are a number of less expensive and dangerous generic drugs that could prevent renal failure in 9,000 to 11,000, but Bayer AG maintains that the findings of the FDA and the NEJM do not reflect the 15 years of data collected from their own studies.  Concerns over Trasylol’s possible defectiveness have led a number of individuals to file lawsuits on behalf of themselves or others.

If you or someone you care about was given Trasylol and experienced any of the following side effects, you may be entitled to monetary compensation from Bayer (Trasylol’s maker) for your suffering:

  • Kidney problems
  • Heart attack
  • Stroke
  • Thrombosis
  • Myocardial infarction
  • Encephalopathy 

Studies found that Trasylol doubles the risk of renal failure and stroke and also increases the risk of heart failure or heart attack by 55%.
