Atripla Class Action

Our class action lawyers are filing lawsuits alleging that Gilead exposed consumers to an unnecessary risk of bone and kidney damage with Atripla (generic: efavirenz + tenofovir DF + FTC) and its other tenofovir-containing HIV medications, when the drugmaker had the ability to release similarly-effective products that are much safer.

What’s the Problem?

Lawsuits allege that nearly 20,000 people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have been diagnosed with kidney disease after taking Atripla and other similar medications that contain tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), all of which were manufactured by Gilead Sciences. Recent studies have also shown that TDF drugs may cause an increased risk for severe bone fractures. Nearly 6,000 bone breaks have allegedly been linked to the drug compound.

Atripla Recall

Despite its active ingredient being linked to the above serious side effects, Atripla has not been recalled, and continues to be prescribed to HIV patients around the country. However, in Oct. 2018, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) downgraded Atripla from a “recommended” regimen to an “alternative” regimen for people just beginning antiretroviral therapy (ART).

Can I File a Class Action?

The lawyers at Schmidt & Clark, LLP, have decided against the filing of a class action lawsuit over injuries alleged from Atripla and similar HIV medications. It has been our experience that class action claims often result in low payouts and greater attorney fees to the client. However, this doesn’t mean you’re out of luck if you’ve been injured by Atripla. Our attorneys are currently in the process of filing individual claims, which tend to offer greater compensation and greater control to the client over their own case.
