Profession: Trasylol Attorney

Category: Trasylol Lawsuits

Attorneys representing clients that were harmed by the anti-bleeding drug Trasylol have filed eight lawsuits on their behalf in Florida. An unknown number of people may have suffered kidney failure and death following open heart surgery in which Trasylol was used. A study in Canada last year showed that the risk of death increased 50% for patients in which the drug was used.

Trasylol was on the market for 14 years until 2007, when Bayer stopped selling it. Several studies have documented the drug's dangers, but Bayer has challenged some of those findings.

The lawsuits do not specify the amount of damages sought. If you believe that Trasylol was used during your or a loved ones surgery, your first step is requesting the medical records. All patients and their next of kin have a right to view them.
