Tamiflu (
oseltamivir) is an antiviral used to prevent or treat infection by influenza A virus and influenza B virus; otherwise known as the flu.
Antivirals are similar to antibiotics in that it's important to complete treatment even if symptoms improve. Failure to complete treatment contributes to viruses becoming resistant to the medication.
Tamiflu works by inhibiting the spread of the virus in the body, preventing symptoms from appearing or worsening. Since its release in 1999, millions of people around the world buy Tamiflu suspension to prevent illness during flu season.
Dosage & Administration:
In an otherwise healthy patient, dosage strength is determined by weight:
- 15 kg (33 lbs) or less should receive 5 mL in each dose.
- 16 kg to 23 kg (34 to 51 lbs) should receive 7.5 mL.
- 41 kg (89 lbs) and up should receive 12.5 mL.
- Children under 1 year old should not be given Tamiflu suspension.
Care should be taken to ensure each dose is measured correctly. If the dosing dispenser provided with the medication is unavailable, a doctor or pharmacist can supply a suitable replacement. Do not estimate doses, especially for young children.
Treatment always consists of 10 doses of Tamiflu, but the frequency with which they're taken depends on whether the medication is being given to prevent or treat the flu:
- Prevention - 1 dose once a day for 10 days. Treatment should begin whenever exposure to the virus is likely.
- Treatment - 1 dose twice daily for 5 days. Treatment should begin within 48 hours of first noticing flu symptoms.
The medication can be taken with or without food.
A missed dose should be taken as soon as it's remembered, up to 2 hours before the next dose. Otherwise it may be skipped entirely.
When to Buy Tamiflu Suspension:
Tamiflu should be taken when exposure to the flu is likely, or immediately after flu symptoms appear:
- High fever or chills
- Muscle or body aches
- Headache
- Sore throat
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Chest congestion, coughing
- Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea
Since the medication needs to be taken quickly after exposure or the start of symptoms, it's a good idea to buy Tamiflu suspension ahead of the flu season. Supplies in stores can dwindle fast once flu season begins.
Parents often prefer to buy Tamiflu suspension over
Tamiflu capsules; children find the tutti-frutti flavor much more appealing than swallowing a pill.
Do
not buy Tamiflu suspension to treat flu
symptoms. While it prevents symptoms from worsening, it will not ease symptoms which have already presented. Additional medications made to provide relief from symptoms can be taken along with Tamiflu.
Precautions & Warnings:
Individuals with any serious illness or medical conditions should not buy Tamiflu suspension without first talking to a doctor about potential risks:
- Kidney, heart or lung disease, such as asthma
- Conditions which weakens the immune system, such as lupus
- Conditions which causes swelling of the brain
- Other major illness, such as diabetes or cancer
A small number of teenagers or children may become disoriented and agitated when treatment begins. In some cases confusion has led to self-injury. Any unusual behavior should be brought to the attention of a doctor.
Women who are pregnant or breast feeding should not buy Tamiflu suspension. The effects on unborn or nursing babies is unknown.
Tamiflu is not a flu vaccine, and may reduce the effectiveness of flu vaccines given within 48 hours of taking Tamiflu.
