The FDA Remains Broken, Trasylol, a Case In Point

Trasylol is a drug that promotes clotting and is given during heart by pass surgery. It is one of the new and expensive biotech drugs of Bayer. Patients generally don’t know they are getting it, and it significantly increases kidney failure and the likelihood they will die at a significantly increased rate in the next few years following surgery.
