One of the things I spotted in my casual looking around is this statement: "Therefore, as part of the FDA approval process, Gilead was required to develop an alternative form of the chemical — known as a “prodrug”— that could be taken by mouth." [1]
If Gilead agreed to develop an alternative drug that had fewer adverse side effects in exchange for FDA approval of their preferred (more expensive) drug, then I think the lawsuit has a great deal of merit.
