Is it for you?
Tamiflu is a medicine to treat flu (infection caused by
influenza virus) in adults and children aged 1 year and
older, where the symptoms started within the last day or
two. Tamiflu can also reduce the chance of getting the flu
in certain circumstances.
It
belongs to a group of medicines called neuraminidase inhibitors.
These medications attack the influenza virus and prevent
it from spreading inside your body. Tamiflu treats flu at
its source by attacking the virus that causes the flu, rather
than simply masking symptoms. Typical symptoms of flu include
sudden onset of fever and chills, cough, muscle pain, headache,
fatigue and weakness. Some people also get a stuffy nose
and sore throat.
How
does Tamiflu work?
Tamiflu prevents the flu from spreading inside the body.
You already have the flu, but this medicine attacks the
flu virus.
Tamiflu
Dosage
Each Tamiflu capsule (grey/light yellow) contains 75 mg
of active drug and should be taken by mouth. This should
be taken twice daily (once in the morning and once in the
evening) for five days. Tamiflu can be taken with or without
food. As with many medicines, if taken with a light snack,
milk, or a meal, the potential for stomach upset may be
reduced. You should complete the entire treatment of ten
capsules, even if you are feeling better. It is important
that you begin your treatment with Tamiflu as soon as possible
from the first appearance of your flu symptoms.
