What is the problem with Bayer Trasylol (Bayer aprotinin)?


Two non-profit biomedical research organizations conducted the independent observational study ("Trasylol Bayer report"). The organizations dedicated to saving and extending lives are Ischemia Research and Education Foundation and the McSPI Research Group. Principal scientist, Dennis T. Mangano, Ph.D., M.D., advocates that the "Trasylol Bayer report" provides compelling evidence of Bayer aprotinin's risks and strongly suggests discontinuing use. He recommends replacing Bayer aprotinin with two alternative generic drugs that are far less costly, much safer but for some reason marketed less. Raising more concerns aprotinin has been on the market three times longer than Vioxx exposing patients to life-threatening complications.

According to the study that examined 4,374 coronary artery bypass surgery patients at hospitals around the world, replacing Bayer aprotinin with one of two safe generic drugs would annually:

  • Prevent as many as 11,050 dialysis complications

  • Save at least $1 billion in healthcare (dialysis) costs

  • Reduce drug costs by at least $250 million

Interestingly enough the coronary artery bypass surgery drug with the most life-threatening complications -- Bayer Trasylol -- costs $1,300 per dose. While the much safer generic drugs cost unbelievably lower: Amicar costs only $11 per dose and Cyklokapron costs $44 per dose. It's no small wonder that health insurance is so expensive!


Dr. Mangano estimates that as many as 10,000 patients may be unnecessarily on dialysis today due to Bayer Aprotinin use.


Statistics show that each year approximately one million patients worldwide undergo surgical treatment following a heart attack -- with the majority of these patients receiving one of three antifibrinolytic agents to limit blood loss during surgery: aprotinin, or one of the generic drugs. The two generic drugs have proven safe in limiting blood loss and do not have the harmful Bayer aprotinin side effects.
