Trasylol (APROTININ)

Bayer · FDA-approved withdrawn Quality 21/100

Trasylol (Aprotinin) is a small molecule antifibrinolytic agent developed by Bayer Healthcare, targeting plasminogen to prevent excessive bleeding. It was FDA-approved in 1993 for the treatment of hemorrhage. As a patented product, its commercial status is proprietary to Bayer Healthcare. Key safety considerations include potential allergic reactions and interactions with other medications. Trasylol works by inhibiting the activity of plasminogen, a protein involved in the breakdown of blood clots.
