Product description

Tamiflu is used for the treatment of influenza (flu) in adults and children over 1 year of age. Tamiflu can also be used for the prevention of the flu in adults and adolescents over 13 years of age.

The flu is an infection caused by the influenza virus. Tamiflu is not effective against the common cold, throat or chest infections caused by other viruses. Tamiflu belongs to a group of medicines called neuraminidase inhibitors. These medicines attack the influenza virus and prevent it from spreading inside the body.

Taking Tamiflu can prevent you from catching the flu, or if you have already caught the flu, it can make the symptoms less severe and help you to recover faster. Tamiflu will help reduce the chances of you passing the flu on to someone else. You will also be less likely to develop complications of the flu, such as bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis (infected sinuses) and earache. Typical symptoms of influenza include fever, headache, muscle aches, sore throat, couch and extreme tiredness.

Dosage

Take Tamiflu exactly as your doctor has prescribed. Your doctor will tell you how many capsules to take.
