What is Truvada?
Truvada is a mixture of emtricitabine and tenofovir and is prescribed in combination with other therapies for HIV treatment. If HIV is left untreated, it can develop into AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). Truvada works by decreasing the level of virus present in the body to bolster the patient’s immune system. Truvada lowers the risk of developing complications associated with HIV, but there is currently no cure for HIV or AIDS. Truvada may also be used to prevent HIV in high-risk populations. When used to prevent exposure, Truvada is referred to a PrEP.
What is Happening with Truvada?
Truvada has been reported to cause adverse health conditions in certain people. The product contains warnings that the following may occur when using Truvada: (i) kidney damage, which may lead to kidney failure, (ii) a decrease in bone mineral density and mineralization, and (iii) lactic acidosis, a condition involving the accumulation of lactate in the blood due to the malfunctioning of the kidneys. Lactic acidosis is a serious condition and can be fatal if not treated immediately.
Lawsuits have been filed against the manufacturer, Gilead Sciences Inc., alleging that the company manufactured a defective product and failed to inform consumers of all the risks associated with using the medication.
