Injured by Truvada/TDF?
OUR LAWYERS CAN HELP
Gilead, HIV, and Truvada
For persons who live with HIV, TDF drugs such as Truvada, Viread, Atripla, Complera, and Stribild seemed to offer relief and preventative treatment from the disease.
Instead, patients experienced bone density loss and kidney failure.
Gilead, the drug’s manufacturer, has come under fire for delaying the release of a safer alternative to promote sales of its TDF line of drugs.
Thousands of patients around the country have begun to come forward stating the conditions they now suffer as a result of Truvada and other TDF drugs. As of June 2019, hundreds of lawsuits against Gilead have been filed. One class-action suit in California was approved to proceed.
To date, there have been no settlements or trials because the fight for justice has just begun.
Truvada and other TDF/HIV drugs make up over 67% of Gilead’s revenue each year. The manufacturer is highly motivated to defend its case with a strong legal team.
Private citizens need proven and experienced lawyers to protect their physical and financial well-being in a court of law, lawyers who have experience fighting big pharma and their legal teams.
Truvada’s devastating side-effects in HIV patients
Two main claims have been made in lawsuits against Gilead:
- That Gilead knew or should have known that Truvada and its active ingredient, TDF, were “highly toxic in the doses prescribed and risked permanent and possibly fatal damage to the kidneys and bones.”
- That Gilead ignored and misrepresented the risks of TDF drugs and failed to inform the medical field and the public of these known risks.
Thousands of Truvada victims have reported physical damages such as:
- Acute Kidney Injury
- Acute Renal Failure
- Chronic Kidney Disease or declining kidney function
- Kidney Failure
- Related renal injuries
- Fanconi’s syndrome—a disorder where substances normally absorbed into the blood are excreted in urine
- Kidney tubular dysfunction
- Lactic acidosis—the accumulation of lactate in the bloodstream, leading to weakness, nausea, vomiting, and difficulties breathing
- Osteopenia
- Osteoporosis
- Bone fractures
- Osteomalacia
- Related orthopedic injuries
