My daddy was given trasylol after his heart bypass surgery and now has kidney failure requiring dialysis 3 days a week. He NEVER had kidney problems before being given this drug. He was in good health aside from needing bypass surgery. Now, he also has arterial fibrillation and congestive heart failure. He has been in and out of the hospital for months now and I feel Trasylol has robbed him of his quality of life. I feel like Bayer Corp. is killing my father and I believe there are many who don't even know their problems are due to Trasylol. I know we didn't until someone told us to look it up. This drug is STILL on the market despite the proven harmful effects and FDA warnings and will probably injure many more people if nothing is done about it. Apparently health "care" is just an oxymoron and all that matters in this industry is big money. What a crock! Something must be done about this!

Johns Hopkins White Papers

  • 2010 Prescription Drugs White Paper
    Used inappropriately, prescription medicines may not help very much and can even cause harm. Understanding how prescription medicines are created, tested, marketed, and dispensed is important in order to maximize their benefits and minimize their risks. This White Paper will help you to be a more informed consumer of prescription drugs. It cannot tell you which medications are best for you; your doctor and/or pharmacist will offer guidance in using your own prescription drugs safely, cost-effectively, and to your greatest benefit. What you learn from this document will help you to ask the right questions and have a better understanding of the answers.
