COI
I hope you realise that you might not be the best person to write about Trasylol, given your evident conflict of interest. JFW | T@lk  15:18, 24 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I understand your concern. Of course.  But I am quite qualified to discuss the litigation that has emerged surrounding this drug.  Which is certainly now a part of the history of what has taken place with Trasylol and would be of great interest to anyone who has suffered kidney failure secondary to the administration of Trasylol.

I am also very qualified to write on subjects of my scientific interest, which would enable me to cite my own publications and engage in self-promotion. That doesn't mean that the COI policy allows it. You are free to leave a note on Talk:Aprotinin that outlines the relevant sources, so an editor without a personal stake in aprotinin litigation can make the relevant modifications to the article.

There are plenty of drug articles on Wikipedia where ongoing litigation is not being discussed. There is not much of a precedent. I will drop a note on WP:PHARM, the forum for drug-related articles, to see what other editors think. JFW | T@lk  16:25, 24 July 2008 (UTC)


 * As to precedent, see: Rofecoxib (MonheitLaw (talk) 15:31, 28 July 2008 (UTC))


 * Thank you for the suggestion. I will put together a list of resources for someone to consider.  The fact that the drug manufacturer moved to have all Trasylol litigation consolidated is significant, as all of these cases filed in Federal, like what you saw with Vioxx, will be consolidated in front of one judge.  Again, thank you for the suggestion. (MonheitLaw (talk) 14:49, 28 July 2008 (UTC))


 * Hopefully the resources I listed will be sufficient for someone to describe the MDL litigation for recourse sought by those who have taken Trasylol. See: Talk:Aprotinin (MonheitLaw (talk) 15:26, 28 July 2008 (UTC))
