FDA Announces Suspension of Trasylol

November 5, 2007 –The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today announced that, at the agency’s request, Bayer Pharmaceuticals Corp. has agreed to a marketing suspension of Trasylol, a drug used to control bleeding during heart surgery, pending detailed review of preliminary results from a Canadian study that suggested an increased risk for death.

What is Trasylol?

Trasylol (Generic: aprotinin) is an injectable prescription drug which inhibits certain enzymes that increase the risk of bleeding during surgery and aids the body’s ability to prevent bleeding.

Normally, the drug is given to patients undergoing heart bypass surgery to control blood loss, but has also been used in other surgeries, such as hip replacement surgery.

Trasylol is manufactured by Bayer Pharmaceuticals Corporation and was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in December 1993 to reduce bleeding and the need for blood transfusion in patients undergoing heart surgery.
