Truvada® HIV Medication Lawsuit

HIV drugs like Truvada® are used to prevent and treat human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Unfortunately, the active ingredient in these drugs caused some patients to experience serious side effects, including bone density loss, kidney injuries, and more.

Truvada® Lawsuit

Since May 2018, numerous TDF drug users have filed Truvada lawsuits seeking financial compensation over the injuries they experienced.

Many of these Truvada cases are pending in court — but you still have time to get involved and take action over your injuries.

If you experienced bone or kidney issues after taking a TDF drug, reach out to a Truvada attorney with Sokolove Law to learn whether you may have a case.

Truvada Lawsuit Claims

Truvada class action lawsuits allege that Gilead:

  • Knew before going to market that TDF could be unreasonably and unnecessarily toxic to a patient’s kidneys and bones
  • Withheld the safer drug alternative of tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) or Descovy® for more than a decade to make more money off of their TDF drugs, even as patients began reporting severe side effects
  • Failed to adequately warn physicians and consumers about the safe use of TDF drugs, including the need to monitor patients for these side effects

Who Can File a Truvada Side Effects Lawsuit?

You may be eligible to file a Truvada side effects lawsuit if you or your loved one:

  • Took one of these Gilead HIV drugs: Truvada, Atripla, Complera, Stribild, or Viread

When you work with a skilled team of HIV drug lawyers, you just may be surprised by how little you actually have to do.

Truvada Lawsuit Settlement Amounts & Verdicts

When an attorney pursues Truvada compensation on your behalf, if your case is successful, compensation can potentially be awarded in one of two forms:

  • Truvada Settlements: In general, a Truvada lawsuit settlement could be reached if the defendant and plaintiff agree on terms to resolve the legal claim.
  • Truvada Jury Verdict: If a Truvada settlement isn’t reached, a potential case may continue to court, where a judge and jury will hear the case and decide the outcome in a verdict.

Get Help Pursuing Truvada Compensation

According to Truvada lawsuits, Gilead was allegedly reluctant to hurt sales by admitting its TDF-based products were unreasonably and unnecessarily dangerous. By withholding that fact, as well as a safer alternative drug, Gilead could stand to make billions.

Pharmaceutical companies should never be allowed to exploit American people – especially those suffering from a life-threatening infection. That’s why Truvada attorneys with Sokolove Law stand firm with HIV patients to recoup the money and quality of life they lost after putting their faith in TDF drugs.

Will you stand with us to hold Gilead accountable? If you have taken a TDF drug and suffered any of the side effects above, you may be entitled to compensation with the help of a Truvada law firm.
