Tamiflu, also known as oseltamivir, is the number one prescribed oral medication for treating and preventing influenza (flu). Tamiflu is recommended for the treatment of influenza A and influenza B and can reduce the duration of symptoms, including fatigue, cough, headache, fever, and sore throat, by several days. Tamiflu can also prevent you from becoming sick if you come into contact with someone who already has the flu and you are worried about catching it.
Tamiflu is used for the treatment of infections of the influenza virus in adults and children (one year and older) within 2 days of the symptoms becoming apparent. Although most patients can overcome influenza over time, the treatment is essential for treating those who suffer from underlying health conditions and whose health could be threatened by the influenza virus. Tamiflu is also approved for emergency use in children less than 1 year old. 121doc offers next day delivery on all orders, so that you can begin taking Tamiflu to treat the flu as possible.
Tamiflu’s main ingredient oseltamivir can suppress influenza virus and prevent the virus from spreading any further. By preventing the spread of the virus from cell to cell, the symptoms and duration of influenza infections are reduced. If you start taking Tamiflu within 48 hours of you becoming infected with the virus, you can reduce the duration of symptoms by a day and half or more.
You can buy Tamiflu online, but you will need to have a valid prescription. 121doc offers each patient the chance to have an online consultation with one of our team of registered doctors. By filling in some basic medical details, our doctor can decide whether Tamiflu is the right medication for you. If you are approved, the doctor can then issue you with a prescription. This will then be sent to our pharmacy, which will then prepare your medication and send it to you for next-day delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Tamiflu is a prescription only oral medication used for treating and preventing the flu. Tamiflu works best if taken within 2 days of you experiencing any symptoms. Tamiflu reduces the severity of symptoms and shortens the length of time you feel unwell. It can also be used to prevent someone from becoming infected with flu, if they have had close contact with someone who has flu.
It's important to know the difference between proper flu and a cold because, influenza can be very dangerous to people with asthma or similar lung problems, the elderly or the very young. Flu starts very suddenly, whilst a cold will come on gradually; a cough is normally the first symptom of flu, with no stuffiness, whilst a cold usually starts with a blocked or runny nose, or sore throat. Influenza makes you feel unwell in your whole body whilst a cold only usually affects the nose, throat, sinuses and upper chest.
Tamiflu can be taken by both adults and children, one year and older. It is also approved for emergency use in children less than 1 year old. The recommended dose for treating adults is 75 mg twice daily for 5 days. Children are usually treated with 30-75 mg twice daily. You may not be suitable for Tamiflu if you pregnant or breastfeeding.
If you are suffering from any of the following disorders, inform your doctor before beginning a treatment of Tamiflu:
- Kidney ailments
- Heart problems
- Viral infections besides influenza A / B
- Liver diseases
- Lung Problems
Tamiflu is well tolerated and rarely causes side effects. In a small number of cases, Tamiflu has lead to nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, bronchitis, abdominal pain, headache and dizziness. These effects were not typically long lasting, and discontinued quickly after treatment was ceased.
