    Trouble for Bayer as Lawsuits Draw Near

    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 drug’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


                The high cost of Trasylol has also posed questions due to the fact that it was a lot more expensive at $1,250, than of competitors at $150. This makes us wonder if Bayer was not only producing a defection medication, but also gouging prices from those who were administered Trasylol. What we do know is that Bayer is going to need more than a drug to cure there worries

    Bayer Recalls Popular Drug Used In Heart Surgery

    Bayer Pharmaceutical, the large drug manufacturer, has announced that it has taken its remaining stock of Trasylol out of hospitals. This anti-bleeding medication has been linked to causing kidney damage and death in over 22,000 cases. The reason that Bayer recalled the drug was in response from studies that show Trasylol nearly doubled the death rate in comparison to cheaper alternative medications that were already established in the market. These studies that proved Trasylol, also called aprotinin, is more dangerous when used in heart surgeries were given to Bayer nearly two years before it was taken off the market. Bayer even did their own study, in which the finding also discovered the fatal side effects of the drug.


    Now that Trasylol has been taken off the market it is time to recoup all that has been lost.
