Tamiflu

What are the benefits of Tamiflu?

This medication works to combat and ease the symptoms of flu such as coughing, a stuffy nose, sore throat, fever/chills, aches and tiredness. On average, Tamiflu shortens the duration of influenza symptoms by one to two days, providing that you take the treatment as soon as flu-like symptoms become apparent. It can also be used as a preventative measure if you believe you have been exposed to the virus and are at an increased risk of becoming ill.

This medication is an absolutely essential treatment for the very young, the very old or those who suffer from an underlying condition which may increase severity of the flu. Influenza can, in some cases, lead to further infection such as pneumonia, which can be fatal. It can effectively help to contain the virus and prevent any further infection from occurring.

How does this medication work?

Oseltamivir, the main ingredient in Tamiflu, belongs to a group of medicines known as neuraminidase inhibitors. It attacks the flu virus and prevents it from spreading inside the body. Oseltamivir targets the source of the flu infection, giving the body the help it needs to fight off the infection more quickly.

Who is suitable to take Tamiflu?

Tamiflu oseltamivir can be taken by adults and children who are experiencing the early symptoms and those who are concerned that they have caught the flu from someone else. It can be taken by anyone over the age of one, but it can sometimes be prescribed to children between six and 12 months of age when a more severe strain is spreading, such as swine flu or bird flu.

How do I take this medication?

The recommended dosage of Tamiflu oseltamivir is two capsules per day for five days. The capsule can be taken orally with a glass of water. Users are advised not to take the tablets on an empty stomach as it may cause a mild feeling of sickness. The capsule should not be broken or chewed, but swallowed whole.
