Is anyone aware of a class action lawsuit against Gilead for undisclosed Harvoni side effects? i.e. severe joint pain, vision loss, liver cancer, etc.
Lynn K:
Hi Kelly
Haven't heard anything about a lawsuit for side effects just one for the cost of Harvoni.
Liver cancer is a possible consequence of liver cirrhosis from long term infection with hep c. Liver cancer is not a side effect of Harvoni.
In general it takes decades of continual damage to the liver to cause cirrhosis and HCC vs a mere 12 weeks of Harvoni treatment.
As far as undisclosed sides I would think any sides not included in the prescribing information sheet would be more likely undiscovered sides found after Harvoni was released to the general public.
If you are experiencing side effects Gilead and the FDA want you to report them.
This information comes from the prescribing information sheet
https://www.gilead.com/~/media/Files/pdfs/medicines/liver-disease/harvoni/harvoni_pi.pdf To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Gilead Sciences, Inc. at 1-800-GILEAD-5 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
Good Luck

Any news or latest reports out re liver cancer post Harvoni? My Dr.s office has seen an increase in new occurrence hcc, and other cancers, colon and sarcomas post tx and stepped up the screening process to Ultrasound every 3 mos for F4's post viral eradication via all DAAs.
Any insight or news as to why this particular attorney's contact info is listed? This post seems cryptic or curious. I am skeptical of any poster that claims there is no connection between Daa and cancer in F4's for the "fact" no one knows for sure yet. Optimistic, however not based on any concrete evidence.
