(PRWEB) March 24, 2008 -- Americas Watchdog is leading a national investigation related to individuals who may have been exposed to the heart medication called Trasylol. According to numerous news accounts the heart medication called Trasylol has been attributed to death or kidney failure on the part of individuals who may have been exposed to this medication. According to the news program 60 Minutes, Trasylol may be responsible for the deaths of 22,000 US citizens. Trasylol was used in up to 1/3rd of all US open heart surgeries until recently. Individuals or family members who have knowledge of Trasylol being used in a open heart surgical procedure should contact Americas Watchdog immediately at 866-714-6466.
Americas Watchdog also seeks to talk to medical professionals or hospital staff members who might have specific information about drug companies giving physicians lucrative "consulting" arrangements provided the physician continues to provide a certain manufactures drug. According to Americas Watchdog, "we consider drug consulting arrangements to be no different than a pay off and our group intends to put a stop to it. We do not care how many members of Congress have been bought off by drug companies, wrong is wrong". Hospital or medical professionals with specific information about drug company/physician consulting arrangements should call Americas Watchdog immediately at 866-714-6466.
In the case of Trasylol, a single dose cost $1000 or more. According to Americas Watchdog, "this fact is ridiculous as there effective generics available at less than $10 with no known side affects. If a nurse, doctor, hospital staff member, family member or any one else has specific information about Trasylol, they should call Americas Watchdog immediately at 866-714-6466".
