Trasylol Heart Surgery Medication Costly and Dangerous
Trasylol, an expensive medication given to coronary artery bypass patients during surgery to stop excessive bleeding may cause heart failure, kidney failure and stoke. Patients undergoing bypass surgery were unaware that Trasylol, a medication manufactured by Bayer, has been found in clinical studies to lead to greater risk of death, stroke, and acute kidney failure.
If a patient is found by their doctor to be at risk of excessive bleeding during surgery they should know Trasylol has been found to be not only dangerous but extremely expensive compared to generic alternatives.
Trasylol Heart Surgery Alternative Drugs Available
A New England Journal of Medicine study reported that two other generic medications were available that are safer and less expensive than Trasylol.
Heart surgery medications that help prevent excessive bleeding during surgery:
- Trasylol cost per dose is $1,300
- The generic aminocaproic acid cost per dose is $11
- The generic tranexamic acid cost per dose is $44
The generic drugs were shown to be far less costly with no increased risk of heart attack, stroke or kidney failure.
