Americas Watchdog Would Like to Talk with People who were Given Trasylol During Open Heart Surgery or Hip Replacement Surgery or Their Family Members
Americas Watchdog has launched a national investigation involving the medication called Trasylol. Trasylol was given up to one third of all US patients undergoing open heart surgery and tens of thousands of US citizens undergoing hip replacement surgery. According to the national TV news program 60 Minutes, Trasylol may have been a contributing factor in the deaths of 22,000 Americans or more. According to 60 minutes, "the drug manufacturer may have known about the side affects of kidney failure or death long before it was pulled from US pharmacies or hospitals".
Americas Watchdog wants to talk to every US surgical patient who was given a hip replacement or went through a open heart procedure that may have involved Trasylol, from 2000 to 2006.
Alleged side affects from Trasylol exposure include:
According to Americas Watchdog, "What is most despicable about this drugs use is the fact that a single dose of Trasylol may have cost over $1000, yet there were much lower priced generics available at around $7.00."
