Heart Drug Trasylol May Boost Risk of Death

Filed in archive Corporate and Industrial News , Drugs, Vaccines and Therapeutics by ruth on October 30, 2007

Foolowing the results of the a study on the efficacy and safety of Trasylol, a drug used to prevent excessive bleeding during heart bypass surgery, the FDA issued a warning that the drug also raises the risk of death in comparison to other drugs. Trasylol, also known as aprotinin, works by blocking enzymes that dissolve blood clots

Bayer said it believes Trasylol remains a safe and effective treatment option, but that the company would work with the FDA and regulators in other countries to re-evaluate the drug's risks and benefits and determine where any label changes are needed.

The FDA said such changes, as well as other, unspecified regulatory actions, may result.
