Trasylol

THE PROBLEM WITH TRASYLOL.

Trasylol (aprotinin injection) was approved by the Food & Drug Administration in 1993 and was used to stop bleeding during heart bypass surgery. However, a study published by the New England Journal of Medicine in January 2006 opined that Trasylol (generic name aprotinin) increased the risk of kidney failure
following heart surgery by more than 2 ½ times (259%). You can read that article HERE.

On May 14, 2008, more than two years after the New England Journal of Medicine published The Risk Associated with Aprotinin in Cardiac Surgery (link above), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that manufacturer Bayer AG agreed to remove Trasylol from the market.

CBS News documented the horrifying effects of Trasylol in a 60 Minutes broadcast. You can obtain more information by reading the 60 Minutes new article HERE.

SYMPTOMS.

Trasylol can cause renal (kidney) failure, often leading to the patient’s death. Trasylol was also proven to increase risk of heart attack, stroke or encephalopathy (degenerative brain diseases). Some symptoms include:Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath

  • Fast heart beat
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Skin rash, irritation or inflammation
  • Sudden or severe pain in the chest, legs, head or groin
  • Swelling of the face, lips, tongue or neck
