Johnson & Johnson filed a lawsuit to stop counterfeits.

In brief:

Quote
Imagine picking up your lifesaving HIV meds from the pharmacy and then opening the bottle to find tablets that look suspiciously different and turn out to be powerful antipsychotic pills. That’s just one consequence of a counterfeit drug distribution ring involving HIV meds manufactured by Johnson & Johnson (J&J) and its subsidiary Janssen, according to Reuters.

After clients alerted Johnson & Johnson to the problem, the drugmaker filed a lawsuit against several distributors and a pharmacy, aiming to halt the sale of the counterfeit meds. The complaint, which was made public in April, follows a similar lawsuit filed by Gilead Sciences, another manufacturer of HIV medications.

J&J’s HIV meds involved in the lawsuit include Symtuza (darunavir/cobicistat/ tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine), Prezcobix (darunavir/cobicistat), Prezista (darunavir) and Edurant (rilpivirine). (To learn more about HIV drugs, including the different classes, doses and experimental treatments, visit the POZ Basics section on HIV Medications.)
