What is Atripla?

Atripla (generic:efavirenz/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine) treats human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the infection that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). It doesn't cure HIV or AIDS, but instead may slow the disease progress and prolong life. Atripla is manufactured by Gilead Sciences, and was approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) in July 2006.

What’s the Problem?

Lawsuits allege that tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), one of the active ingredients in Atripla, contributes to kidney problems and bone demineralization due to compromised bone density, which has led to bone fractures and other serious side effects in some patients.
