Connecticut Truvada Claims: Lawsuit Information for Connecticut Residents
Lawyers Helping Connecticut Persons and Families Harmed by Truvada Kidney Problems and Broken Bones
Truvada and other antiretroviral drugs containing the active ingredient tenofovir disproxil increase the risk of bone density loss, fracture, renal impairment, and kidney failure. Among the most popular HIV drugs in the world, Truvada has serious side effects that cause injury and permanent damage to persons already suffering from HIV. A safer version of tenofovir, known as TAF, is an effective antiretroviral that does not pose the same risk for kidney problems and bone density loss.
Despite early indications that TAF was a safer alternative with lower toxicity, the drugmaker halted clinical research for several years, resuming only when its patent on Truvada was set to expire. Truvada earned more than $11 billion annually at its height for Gilead Sciences, Inc. Critics says the company purposefully delayed TAF research in order to prolong its patent on tenofovir-containing drugs and safeguard its market dominance. Meanwhile, millions of HIV-positive Americans, including countless Connecticut residents, were exposed to a heightened risk for serious and permanent injuries including kidney failure, renal impairment, bone density loss, and bone fractures. Gilead received FDA Truvada warning letters on two occasions when drug company representatives were caught downplaying Truvada side effects and making false claims about the drug's safety.
Now Gilead Sciences, Inc., faces serious questions regarding the timeline of its development of TAF. Persons and the family members of persons in Connecticut who suffered from side effects such as broken and brittle bones, osteoporosis, and kidney failure after taking antiretrovirals including Truvada, Viread, Stribild, Atripla, Symfi Lo, AccessPak for HIV PEP Expanded with Kaletra, AccessPak for HIV PEP Expanded with Viracept, Complera, Cimduo, or Genvoya are filing Connecticut bone and kidney failure lawsuits against Gilead. Filing a Truvada lawsuit is the only means Connecticut individuals and families have to obtain the compensation they deserve for suffering, damage, medical expenses and loss related to Truvada kidney failure or osteoporosis in Connecticut. In addition, filing a Truvada lawsuit claim is the best method for Connecticut consumers to hold Gilead accountable for its unethical business practices.

Connecticut Truvada Kidney Failure and Broken Bones: Do I Need to File a Lawsuit to Make a Claim?
If you or a loved one in Connecticut has suffered from side effects of antiretrovirals known as Truvada or TDF, you may have grounds to file a Connecticut Truvada lawsuit against the California-based drugmaker Gilead Sciences, Inc. Truvada kidney lawsuits and Truvada broken bones claims allow Connecticut persons and families harmed by Truvada side effects to seek compensation for the medical expenses, pain and suffering that have resulted from this dangerous drug.
Research indicates that Truvada users are more prone to both kidney failure and broken bones than other HIV positive patients. In one study, it was found that bone mineral density (BMD) declines by 2-6% in the first two years of Truvada treatment. A study out of the University of California - San Francisco examined outcomes of 10,000 HIV positive patients and found that Truvada increases the risk for proteinuria (abnormal protein levels in the patient's urine), rapid decline in kidney function, chronic kidney disease, and kidney failure. Countless Connecticut residents have taken Truvada and been exposed to this risk.
Critics say Gilead executives were in possession of a safer antiretroviral, tenofovir alafenamide (TAF), in the early 2000s but halted the development of this drug until 2010, allowing just enough time to complete clinical testing and submit for FDA approval before the Truvada (TDF) patent was set to expire -- which critics say was a strategic delay that prolonged Gilead's patent on tenofovir drugs in order to protect its market dominance of the highly profitable substance. Experts say ten years of Truvada kidney failure and bone density problems could have been avoided by releasing TAF when it was first developed. During the years HIV positive patients were reliant on TDF as a front-line retroviral treatment, Gilead received multiple FDA Truvada warning letters for marketing the drug as safe and failing to mention bone and kidney risks of Truvada.
Truvada is the most popular drug used worldwide in its class, nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), which are a central component in HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy) treatment. More than 600,000 Americans take tenofovir, including many people in Connecticut; this type of drug is prescribed to over 9 million people around the globe. Despite early indicators that TAF offered a safer alternative, Gilead officials chose not to pursue development of the drug; critics say the company held the drug until it was strategically advantageous to release it. By delaying the development of the TAF by a decade, Gilead extended its patent and market dominance until 2032.

We're not the type of people who sue; do we really need to file a lawsuit?
If a member of your family in Connecticut suffered a serious injury or health problem as a result of a defective product or dangerous drug, long-term, or even lifelong, medical care may be required. This could be incredibly expensive and since medical costs are continually rising may be largely unknown at the time of settlement or trial. If a member of your family died due to a defective product or dangerous drug, no amount of money can undo that wrong. It is our fervent hope that every defective products, drug or other medication lawsuit we file can serve to make the manufacturer take note of the loss and pain its product has caused. When that fails to make a company take action in the form of a product recall, greater warnings about its use and ultimately making safer products, we rely on their profit motivation to make them do the right thing. Unfortunately, in all too many cases it is only the fear of lawsuits and large settlements and verdicts that makes a company become a better corporate citizen.

Our Truvada attorneys believe persons and family members of persons who developed acute or chronic kidney problems and suffered from broken or brittle bones while taking Truvada may be eligible for real compensation for the pain, suffering, medical expenses, lost income and other damages suffered, by filing a claim against Gilead. Truvada puts HIV positive Americans at risk for osteoporosis and broken bones as well as kidney failure, and critics allege the company chose not to develop a safer alternative in order to prolong its market dominance of this popular antiretroviral drug. Gilead also received multiple FDA Truvada warning letters for actions of its representatives who falsely claimed the drug was safe and free of toxicities. In reality, Truvada carried a warning label for bone problems and kidney failure which drug representatives were neglecting to disclose.
Truvada bone lawyers believe that filing lawsuits nationwide is the only effective method to seek compensation for the harm resulting from this dangerous drug. Furthermore, it is an unfortunate fact that the threat of litigation may be the only way to motivate Gilead to prioritize consumer safety over profits in the future. The compensation Gilead may expect to pay for these Truvada lawsuits likely represents a small fraction of the $11 billion in annual sales Truvada garnered for years, and our Truvada lawyers are firmly resolved to obtain for clients the compensation they need and deserve.
