For the uninitiated, Truvada is an antiviral medication used for treating HIV infection. The medication has been linked to numerous side effects and health risks. Current lawsuits are against the pharmaceutical company Gilead Sciences, Inc. The lawsuits claim that the company put patients at risk of these side effects without their knowledge. Besides the fact that the drug has a design defect, the company delayed a safer drug to profit from the patent. If you, or a loved one, have suffered consequences because of the drug, you could file a lawsuit. Working with a Truvada Lawyer can help you recover compensation for your suffering. 

Has Truvada been recalled?

As of now, Truvada is still available in the market. If you are taking the drug, you may want to talk to your doctor about alternate options. 

Understanding injuries & long-term effects 

Truvada has been linked to chronic renal diseases. The drug is claimed to have poor bioavailability, which can cause kidney problems. There are also other risks, including Fanconi Syndrome, Osteoporosis, Osteopenia, and Osteomalacia.

Do you qualify for a Truvada lawsuit?

It depends. Talk to an attorney if you used Truvada and have been diagnosed with any of the risks and injuries listed above. An attorney can help evaluate if you have a valid lawsuit, and if you do, this would be a separate lawsuit, not a class action. In case of a separate lawsuit, you will get a separate settlement depending on what you have endured using the drug. In all likelihood, all separate Truvada lawsuits eventually join an MDL (multidistrict litigation), where the judge will hear a few bellwether cases. Currently, that is scheduled for 2022. 

How can a lawyer help?

If you have a valid Truvada lawsuit, your lawyer will help you build a strong case to maximize your settlement. For this, they will delve deep into your medical records and gather additional evidence to prove that the drug manufacturer was at fault and is liable for your suffering. They will also ensure that your case is not denied because of a lack of evidence. 

If you are looking for a lawyer for your Truvada case evaluation, you should know that you don’t have to pay an attorney immediately.
