What is the aprotinin injection used for?
Aprotinin (Trasylol) affects how blood clots. Aprotinin is administered to patients who undergo open heart surgery. Aprotinin is mainly used during repeat heart bypass surgery to reduce the amount of bleeding both during and after surgery. Less bleeding reduces the amount of blood transfusion required.

What should my health care professional know before I receive aprotinin?
They need to know if:
You received previous treatment with aprotinin as it’s very important that your health care professional knows this because repeat use increases the possibility of having an allergic reaction.
You have an unusual or allergic reaction to aprotinin, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives.
You are pregnant or trying to get pregnant.

What drug(s) may interact with aprotinin?

• agents that dissolve blood clots
• captopril
• heparin

Tell your health care professional about all other medicines you are taking including non-prescription medicines; if you frequent drink alcohol or caffeine; if you smoke; or if you use illegal drugs. These can affect the way aprotinin (Trasylol) works.

What are aprotin side effects?
The serious side effects like kidney failure, stroke, and heart attack are likely to occur during or immediately after heart bypass surgery. Other aprotinin side effects that you should report to your health care professional as soon as possible:

• difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
• fast heart beat
• nausea, vomiting
• skin rash, irritation, or inflammation
• sudden or severe pain in the chest, legs, head, or groin
• swelling of the face, lips, tongue or neck

I cannot afford to hire a Trasylol lawyer. How much does a Trasylol kidney failure lawsuit cost?
It costs you nothing. If we agree to be retained, Anapol Schwartz takes the case on a percentage contingency basis. If you don't win your Trasylol kidney failure lawsuit, we don't get paid. Please tell us about your Trasylol problems.
