FDA: Approves New Bayer Drug Warning

FDA Approves New Warning for Bayer Drug

Government health officials said Friday they have approved a new label for Bayer’s Trasylol that highlights the possible risk of kidney damage associated with taking the drug.

FDA began reassessing the safety of the drug earlier this year

FDA began reassessing the safety of the drug earlier this year, when two separate studies suggested the drug was linked to heart attack, stroke and kidney problems. In September, Bayer submitted new data to the FDA about risks of Trasylol, days after a public hearing was held to review the drug’s labeling. The company said it should have disclosed the results earlier and suspended two senior staff members as a result of the incident.

A Bayer spokesman said the company is still investigating why the results were witheld.

Parker Waichman LLP helped my family with my father's 9/11 VCF Claim. My dad was in downtown Manhattan when 9/11 happened. Because of that he was diagnosed with COPD. Unfortunately, in early 2020 when COVID hit, he passed away. It was determined that his COPD from 9/11 was a contributing factor in his death. Working with Parker Waichman during such a difficult time was so helpful. Tina Morace was an absolute godsend in the process. Any questions I had, and there were many, were answered immediately. She always responded with a phone call and an email to follow so that I had everything in writing. I highly recommend their services to anyone who is in need.

As a survivor of the 9/11 disaster zone, I really appreciate the direction, support, and friendliness of working with Parker Waichman in submitting my VCF claim. It would not have been possible without their dedicated assistance (and sometimes hand holding!) I would like to give a special shout out to Tina who was a joy to work with. She makes you feel that YOUR claim is the only one she is working on and YOUR claim is THE most important one on her desk. I recommend Parker Waichman to my former colleagues and friends who need help organizing their files for VCF fund consideration.
