DURHAM, N.C., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Gilead Sciences (Gilead) has recently come under fire for allegedly withholding a safer, more efficient drug than the highly toxic tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). The Law Offices of James Scott Farrin is taking cases of users who took TDF and developed:
- Kidney/renal disease
- Bone damage
- Lactic acidosis
The Case Against Gilead and Tenofovir
Plaintiffs claim in the mid-90s, Gilead synthesized and tested two tenofovir-based drugs at the same time — tenofovir disoproxil fumarate ("TDF") and tenofovir aladenamide fumarate ("TAF"). Gilead found that patients needed about 12 times more TDF than TAF in order to basically achieve the same results. The study revealed that patients who were given TDF had a higher risk of long-term kidney, bone, and teeth injuries because it was given at a higher dose than TAF.
Between 2001 to 2015, Gilead produced 5 different TDF-based drugs making billions of dollars in profit. Recently, Gilead was able to get FDA approval for their "newer" and "safer" drug — tenofovir aladenamide fumarate, or TAF – which they allegedly knew was safer years ago and did not produce.
