If you or a loved one suffer kidney injuries linked to TDF containing HIV drugs, contact our knowledgeable dangerous drugs attorneys to discuss the potential to file an HIV & AIDS Tenofovir drug lawsuit.
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is part of a group of antiviral HIV drugs called nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). The FDA first approved it in October 2001. The brand name drugs that contain TDF are manufactured by Gilead Sciences, Inc. and are:
TDF-containing drugs are used as part of the treatment regimen for HIV+ positive patients. Truvada® has also been approved for use as a Pre-Exposure Prophylactic (PrEP) by non-HIV+ individuals.
There are reports of serious side effects following TDF use, including acute and chronic kidney disease, kidney failure, loss of bone density, and broken bones. If you have taken these drugs and experienced a listed injury, you may have a claim.
The manufacturer of the TDF drugs, Gilead Sciences Inc., allegedly sold this drug while withholding a safer alternative that was less toxic to patients.
Although kidney and bone mineral density problems are known issues for HIV+ individuals, studies suggest that these serious issues are occurring at higher rates in patients who have used TDF-containing drugs. Evidence also suggests that a similar antiviral also manufactured by Gilead Sciences, Inc., tenofovir alafenamide fumarate (TAF), is less toxic than TDF.
Potential kidney injuries linked to TDF containing HIV drugs include:
Potential bone injuries linked to TDF containing HIV drugs include:
Lawsuits have been filed at this point and requests for state court consolidated actions have been made. Mass Tort lawyers around the United States are continuing to investigate the allegations of these claims. Patients that have taken medications Viread®, Truvada®, Complera® Atripla®, and Stribild® potentially could have taken a safer alternative drug that could have limited their kidney damage and/or bone density loss.
