Study Pushes Anti-Bleeding Drug off Market

May 27, 2008

A new study conducted by the Ottawa Health Research Institute provides solid evidence that patients taking the anti-bleeding drug Aprotinin (marketed under the name of Trasylol) are at higher risk of dying from post-surgery complications then those receiving cheaper generic medications.

More than 2 thousand patients from 19 heart-surgery institutions of Canada took part in the research. The findings indicate that patients receiving Trasylol were 50% more likely to die from complications than those who took two other clotting medications (Amicar or Cyklokapron). 6% of the patients receiving Trasylol died within 30-day mark after the surgery. The reason for such high death rates, however, remains unrevealed. Researchers put the blame on the clotting properties of Trasylol.

According to the co-author of the research Dr. Paul Hebert, the risk of Trasylol outweighs its benefits. Trasylol (manufacturer Bayer AG) is used to prevent excessive blood loss during high-risk heart surgeries. The drug was first approved by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) in 1993.            (more…)

  The First Miracle Drugs

  May 11, 2008

  On Christmas Day 1932, the German chemical combine I.G. Farbenindustrie
  filed a patent application on behalf of a red dye that its medical researchers

  later, the dye, now called by the trade name Prontosil, had been found to have the
  same curative powers in humans. Announced in a brief publication in a German
  medical journal in February 1935 by Gerhard Domagk, the medical researcher re-
  sponsible for the work, Prontosil went on the market and became available to doc-
  tors in April 1935. (more…)
