LegalView Adds New Content to Provide Updated Information on the Trasylol Heart-Surgery Drug Recall

PRLog (Press Release) – Nov 08, 2007 – Makers of the heart surgery drug, Trasylol, faced pressures from regulators around the world recently to halt sales of the controversial drug when a Canadian study indicated that the drug may actually contribute to increased death rates in users. Trasylol is used to reduce the risks of excessive bleeding to those receiving heart surgery. Bayer A.G.'s drug, Trasylol, also known as asprotinin, was also linked in a 2006 study in the New England Journal of Medicine as having increased risks for stroke, heart attack and kidney failure in patients. LegalView, your source for everything legal, immediately updated its site to host a detailed Trasylol information portal (http://trasylol.legalview.com/), which includes continually updated information as the issue progresses. LegalView is dedicated to users' finding the most appropriate and useful Trasylol information, which is why the site also includes information on finding a Trasylol attorney (http://trasylol.legalview.com/) based on location.

According to news reports, the Food and Drug Administration initially requested the drug begin a phased withdrawal believing the benefits of a complete and immediate recall did not outweigh the risks posed to heart surgery patients having to do without medication to lessen blood loss. The makers of the drug have said that of the nearly 200,000 users of the drug in 2006, over half were users in the United States. LegalView's information portal provides links to a Trasylol law firm, for those who may have taken the drug and are potentially at risk. LegalView's Trasylol information portal is easy-to-use and highlights the latest details on the unfolding event.

In addition to details regarding the Trasylol recall, LegalView provides regularly updated information on the latest legal issues including information regarding a brain injury attorney. LegalView can also connect victims of mesothelioma cancer with a mesothelioma law firm and those needing to reach nephrogenic systemic fibrosis lawyers, who can help victims access current legal information and jury verdicts.
