Trasylol- What You Need to Know
Trasylol (aprotinin injection) is a drug used to prevent blood loss during heart surgery. Two recent publications have linked Trasylol to an increased risk of serious side effects including kidney damage and failure, heart attacks, and strokes.
FDA began reassessing the safety of the drug earlier this year, when two separate studies suggested links to heart attack, stroke and kidney problems. In September, Bayer submitted new data to the FDA about risks of Trasylol but crucially this came days after advisory panel meeting was held to review the drug's labelling and found it to be safe and effective when used to prevent blood loss in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.
Bayer admitted that it should have disclosed the results earlier and suspended two senior staff members as a result of the incident. A US lawyer has been called in to examine the case.
