What is Trasylol used and prescribed for?

Trasylol is an injection that contains aprotinin, a substance used to prevent bleeding that inactivates a substance in the blood called plasmin during major heart surgeries. Trasylol is used to prevent patients from excessive blood loss during coronary artery bypass graft surgery and cardiac bypass surgery. If there are problems, the Aprotonin Injection (Trasylol) is used to inhibit blood flow from ventricles and major arteries.

Tragically, complications from Trasylol can occur during these procedures, leading to dangerous and potentially deadly heart attack symptoms and renal failure (also known as kidney failure) emergencies.

Additionally, Trasylol is used for treatment of the following conditions:

• Bacterial infection of the heart valves and the lining surrounding the heart (bacterial endocarditis)
• Blood loss occurring during an operation
• Life threatening blood loss
• Serious bleeding disorders such as hemophilia
• Severe bleeding due to raised plasmin levels in the blood

While Trasylol was originally considered a vital component of heart bypass and coronary artery bypass graft procedures, recent revelations within the medical community suggest that the drug could have dire consequences for those who have been injected with it during these operations. Some of the more devastating risks of Trasylol usage include both acute renal failure and chronic renal failure and heart attacks or other potentially fatal heart conditions.

No one should suffer painful and potentially life-threatening injuries or illnesses as a result of misinformation or general negligence. Trasylol users who have suffered post-operative scares like heart attacks, renal failure, or other complications should contact an experienced and understanding attorney immediately. Your health should never be seriously jeopardized by the indifference of a powerful pharmaceutical company like Bayer.

A terrifying event like kidney failure can be physically, emotionally, and financially ruinous and you deserve to recoup the immense financial costs associated with your condition.
