As the government continues to prepare a vaccine for H1N1/Swine Flu, the virus is expected to continue spreading straight through the fall, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
Tamiflu is one of only two medications that are effective in treating the H1N1 virus, according to the CDC, which reported last week that the number of H1N1/Swine Flu-related hospitalizations had eclipsed 7,500 in the U.S. The number of Americans who have died from H1N1/Swine Flu complications has climbed to more than 475. The CDC said the H1N1 vaccine may be available in only limited quantities at first.
Tamiflu is available online, 24-hours a day, at eDrugstore.com. If you have any questions regarding Tamiflu, please call us at 1-800-467-5146.

Tamiflu™ is used to treat symptoms caused by the flu virus (influenza). It helps make the symptoms (e.g., stuffy nose, cough, sore throat, fever/chills, aches, tiredness) less severe and shortens the recovery time by 1-2 days. This medication is also used to prevent the flu if you have been exposed to someone who already has the flu.
Before taking Tamiflu™, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it or if you have any other allergies. Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of kidney disease. This drug may make you dizzy; use caution engaging in activities requiring alertness such as driving or using machinery. Limit alcoholic beverages. This medication should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. It is not known if this drug passes into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Your healthcare professionals (e.g., doctor or pharmacist) may already be aware of any possible drug interactions and may be monitoring you for it. Do not start, stop, or change the dosage of any medicine before checking with them first. Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription/herbal products you may use.
The most common side effects seen with Tamiflu™ are nausea and vomiting. They may occur as your body adjusts to this medication and usually go away after 1-2 days. Dizziness may also occur. If you experience an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or rash) stop taking Tamiflu™ and seek emergency medical attention. Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome. Tamiflu™ is supplied as 75-mg grey/light yellow hard gelatin capsules. "ROCHE" is printed in blue ink on the grey body and "75 mg" is printed in blue ink on the light yellow cap.
Take Tamiflu™ orally as directed by your doctor. You may take it with food or milk to minimize stomach upset. Take Tamiflu™ as soon as flu symptoms appear or as soon as possible after you have been exposed to the flu. Tamiflu™ works best if you start taking it within 2 days of either of these events. If you have the flu, take Tamiflu™ usually twice a day for 5 days, or as directed by your doctor. To prevent the flu, take Tamiflu™ usually once a day for at least 7 days, or as directed by your doctor. Follow your doctor's instructions for how long to take Tamiflu™. This medication works best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. Therefore, take this drug at evenly spaced intervals at the same time(s) every day. Continue to take it for the full time prescribed. Stopping Tamiflu™ too early may allow the virus to continue to grow, which may result in a relapse of the infection or failure to protect you from the flu. Inform your doctor if your condition persists or worsens or if new symptoms appear.
The current Asian outbreak of avian flu, also known as bird flu, is associated with the influenza A strain H5N1 flu virus. Although not the same as the Spanish flu virus that claimed 20 million to 50 million lives worldwide in the 1918 outbreak, the current avian flu strain does share many characteristics with the 1918 strain. Both scientists and governments around the world are studying this threat very closely and some have warned of the potential for another pandemic outbreak. Initial studies have shown that Tamiflu may be effective in helping to fight the effects of this flu virus if the medication is taken very early after flu symptoms appear.
Oseltamivir, sold under the brand name Tamiflu, is one of several antiviral medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment and prevention of influenza. Flu shots are still the best way to prevent someone from developing the flu, but as of this writing no vaccine is available to protect humans from the avian H5N1 influenza virus. According to the CDC, development of a vaccine has begun.
