Tamiflu

oseltamivir

Tamiflu (oseltamivir phosphate) is a very effective antiviral flu medication which can be taken to both treat and to prevent the flu. Currently Tamiflu is one of the most widely prescribed of all the flu medications on the market.

During the clinical trials Tamiflu showed a tremendous success rate. When given to adults, Tamiflu was shown to reduce the duration of the flu virus by 30% and similarly when administered children, Tamiflu was shown to reduce the duration of the flu virus by 26%. Tamiflu works to either prevent the flu - when taken before contracting the virus - or to lessen the duration and the overall symptoms of the flu virus when taking to treat the flu. Tamiflu is safe for both children and adults ages 1 and older.

Common Flu Symptoms:

The flu can hit like a ton and bricks and usually leaves most people bed ridden for days, with symptoms lasting as long as two weeks in some cases. The flu can also be deadly in both children and adults who have compromised immune systems due to their age.

Common symptoms of the flu include:

* Headache
* Stuffy nose or runny nose
* Sore throat
* Aching muscles
* Dry mouth
* Nausea
* Vomiting
* Diarrhea

Who Should and should not Take Tamiflu?

While Tamiflu may be the right flu drug for most people, there are some people who should not take or may not be able to take Tamiflu including: women who are planning conception, expecting a child or currently are nursing, as well as those who are suffering from heart disease, kidney disease, lung disease, or those who are not healthy enough to be taking Tamiflu. Always ask your doctor if Tamiflu is the right flu drug for you.

How does Tamiflu Work?

The cells of the influenza virus house a protein called neuraminidase - which is critical in allowing the virus to break through the cell walls and multiply going on to infect other cells - Tamiflu targets this neuraminidase protein, not allowing the virus to break out of the cell, ultimately confining the flu to the infected cells. Tamiflu has shown significant ability to limit the replication of the flu virus and not allow it to continue its rapid spread and infection of other cells, ultimately limiting the duration and the associated symptoms. Tamiflu only can work effectively when taken properly. In order to be able to use Tamiflu to treat your flu, it must be taken within 48-hours of contracting the flu virus. In order to effectively prevent yourself from contracting the flu using Tamiflu, you must take this drug before you contract the flu virus.
