Tamiflu
Taking Tamiflu as soon as you begin to feel unwell can reduce the duration of flu 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. It's these plus points that position Tamiflu as the number one prescribed oral medication for treating and preventing the influenza virus.
- Treats strains of the influenza virus in adults and children
- Deteriorates affects of flu in a matter of days
- Preventative measure to avoid onset of flu virus
- Most successful medication of its kind
How does Tamiflu work?
Tamiflu contains active ingredients that can suppress the influenza virus and prevent it 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 becoming infected with the virus, you can reduce the duration of symptoms by a day and half or more.
Tamiflu is used for the treatment of infections of the influenza virus in adults and children (one year and older) within two 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. 121doc offers next day delivery on all orders, so that you can begin taking Tamiflu to treat the flu quickly.
Dosage information
Tamiflu can be taken by both adults and children, one year and older. It is also approved for emergency use in children less than one year old. The recommended dose for treating adults is 75 mg twice daily for five 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 course of Tamiflu:
- Kidney ailments
- Heart problems
- Viral infections besides influenza A / B
- Liver diseases
- Lung Problems
How to take Tamiflu
Tamiflu works best if taken within two 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, 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. But even paediatric patients with underlying health conditions such as asthma can take Tamiflu on expert advice.
Are there side effects?
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.
