A recent study showed that the drug Trasylol caused serious side effects in patients and can double the risk of kidney failure and result in an increase in heart failure, heart attacks and even death. The drug, manufactured by drug giant Bayer AG, is an antifibrinolytic agent which was widely used in surgeries to stop blood loss.

Because of the risk associated with Trasylol thousands of patients may have experienced serious side effects and never have known about their cause. Our Washington based Trasylol lawyers can help investigate your case for free if you believe you or someone you love has been injured because of Trasylol.

Dr. Dennis Mangano of the Ischemia Research and Education Foundation in San Bruno, California headed the study which was published in The New England Journal of Medicine’s January 26, 2006 issue. Mangano has stated that thousands of patients may be on dialysis today because of Trasylol. If you or someone you love is on dialysis and believe it may be related to a Trasylol then contact a Washington Trasylol side effects lawyer at our firm for a free investigation.

We are experienced in medical malpractice and defective drug cases throughout the Seattle, Tacoma, and Bellingham areas of Washington but will evaluate any case that we receive for free.

Generic alternatives to Trasylol have existed for some time and did not show the same rate of increase in side effects as Trasylol did in the patients studied. These alternatives, aminocaproic acid and tranexamic acid, also cost only $10-15 per dose versus Trasylol’s cost of about $1000. Last year, Bayer AG made about $600 million in Trasylol sales alone and the company was attempting to increase the drug’s use in other areas.
