What is Truvada?
Truvada is used for 2 purposes:
In conjunction with other HIV medications, it is used to help control HIV infections. The medication is not a cure for HIV or AIDS but is used to treat symptoms of the illnesses, such as preventing other infections or cancers. Truvada is intended to help manage and improve your quality of life.
The medication is also used for individuals who are HIV-negative and have a high risk of developing HIV. Approved for this use on July 16, 202, it is intended for those actively having unprotected sex, infected with an STD, use or abuse of drugs and alcohol, or are with partners infected with HIV.
It is very important Truvada is taken with other HIV medications, otherwise, it will be less effective than intended as an HIV treatment.
The drug itself contains 2 different HIV medications:
Emtricitabine
Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF).
Both medications belong to a group of HIV drugs called nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs).
Manufactured by Gilead Sciences, the drug was approved for HIV prevention in July 2002.
Has Truvada Been Recalled?
As of now, Truvada is still available and has yet to be taken off the market.
Despite the evidence linking the drug to several serious injuries, the FDA has not mandated a recall of the product.
If you are currently taking Truvada, talk to your doctor about other treatment options.
Before stopping use, consult with your doctor to make sure that it is safe.
Other TDF Drugs
While Truvada is the most popular, there are 5 TDF drugs that can cause the serious side effects mentioned below:
Truvada, 300 mg
Viread, 300 mg
Atripla, 300 mg
Complera, 300 mg
Stribild, 300 mg
TAF Drugs
Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF) drugs are FDA approved antiviral medications used to treat hepatitis B virus infection (HBV).
HBV can be an opportunistic infection (OI) of HIV.
Truvada manufacturer Gilead Sciences has faced criticism for delaying the release of TAF drugs to boost the sales of TDF HIV drugs.
Difference Between TDF Drugs & TAF Drugs
TDF drugs have been found to cause serious side effects that can cause kidney and bone injuries to individuals already suffering from HIV.
TAF drugs have been known to be a safer alternative that do not pose the same risks as TDF drugs.
TAF drugs possess a smaller concentration of the main ingredient, tenofovir, in the blood.
The smaller concentration can prevent it from accumulating in the blood and kidneys.
Gilead Sciences Delay TAF
Truvada manufacturer Gilead Sciences has faced criticism for delaying the release of TAF drugs to boost the sales of TDF HIV drugs.
Despite the knowledge of a safer, alternative drug, Gilead did not release TAF drugs until recent years.
Their negligence has put many at risk when there could have been a better alternative.
Critics say the manufacturer purposely withheld the safer HIV drug for monetary purposes.
Critics allege Gilead Sciences purposely didn’t bring a TAF drug to the market in order to maximize the profits of Truvada.
In addition to bringing in millions of dollars to the manufacturer, the out-of-pocket cost for many consumers has skyrocketed.
At nearly $2,000 for a 30 day supply, the outrageous costs have prevented many from continuing the use of Truvada.
