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…)

Antidepressant Prescriptions Soar but Do They Really Work?
April 30, 2008
IMS Health, a market research firm, named antidepressants the most widely prescribed drugs in the U.S. with near 258 million prescriptions to 30 million patients in 2007. This arouses hot arguments on whether the number of people with depression has increased or whether the drug is simply overprescribed.
Antidepressants are a very effective medication for people with severe mental problems, but in case they are marketed too aggressively they might be used as a quick fix for even a slightest emotional difficulty.
Although they are no magical cure for all diseases, antidepressants remain among the best selling drugs with $12 billion dollar sales last year. Because of the increase in the use of this type of medications several research agencies decided to test their effectiveness.
According to British researchers who analyzed the data of 35 clinical trials of Prozac, Serzone, Paxil and Effexor, antidepressants only work for people with severe forms of depression. As for those with mild emotional problems, the effect of the drugs equals to that of placebo. The bottom-line is that many people taking antidepressants don’t really need them.
However another study financed by the National Institute of Mental Health showed that taking more than one antidepressant or switching to a different medication in case the previous one didn’t work can effectively treat chronic depressions. (more…)
