Trasylol Class Action Lawsuits
Trasylol lawsuits have been filed throughout the United States alleging that the heart surgery drug is a defective medication. They state that Trasylol (aprotinin) has caused kidney failure, heart attacks and strokes. These aprotinin lawsuits claim that Bayer, the drug’s manufacturer, marketed and sold Trasylol as a safe and effective medication to help prevent excessive bleeding during bypass surgery. They also claim that Bayer failed to adequately warn patients of its side effects.
Bayer disputes the growing number of aprotinin studies that show increased risk of serious complications and death in Trasylol recipients. The causal link between Trasylol and these potentially fatal side effects has been known for several years and there is evidence that Bayer has known about the link between Trasylol and kidney failure as far back as the early 1980’s. The German scientist Dr. Juergen Fischer, director of the
Institute ofExperimental Medicine at theUniversity ofCologne, found severe incidents of kidney damage in animals that were given Trasylol more than 20 years ago. According to Dr. Fischer, he was surprised Bayer wasn’t interested in his findings.
