Do I Qualify For A Truvada Lawsuit?
Truvada Lawsuit refers to a mass tort claim against Gilead Sciences, Inc., a pharmaceutical company that manufactures Truvada. Truvada is a drug that is meant to treat and prevent HIV and AIDS. The drug works by stopping the multiplication of HIV cells in the patient’s body, thus preventing it from developing into full-blown aids.
The active ingredient in Truvada and other antiretroviral drugs is tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). The ingredient has been linked to kidney failure and decreased bone density, which could lead to osteoporosis.
Other TDF drugs include:
- Atripla
- Cimduo
- Complera
- Stribild
- Symfi-Lo, and
- Viread
If you or someone you know has consumed Truvada or any of the mentioned drugs and has sustained nephritic injuries, kidney or renal failure, and bone-related issues, you may file a Truvada lawsuit.
The basis of the Truvada lawsuit
Several victims have filed personal injury lawsuits against the manufacturing company for failing to rectify a defect they were aware of and delaying the release of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TAF), which is a safer alternative. Besides, they failed to caution patients against the adverse side effects of TDF.
What can I get compensated for should I file a Truvada lawsuit?
Should you have suffered the adverse effects of using Truvada or any other TDF drug, you may qualify for compensatory damages for such expenses as:
- Past, present, and future medical expenses
- Lost wages as well as the reduced capacity to ear
- Loss of consortium
- Pain and suffering
Gilead Sciences, Inc. may also incur punitive damages for dangerous conduct. If you think you qualify for a Truvada or any other TDF drug claim, you need to consult a product liability attorney immediately. This is because there are different deadlines or statutes of limitations that may limit you from getting the compensation you deserve if you wait too long.
