Who should not take TAMIFLU?
You should not take TAMIFLU if you are allergic
to oseltamivir phosphate or any other ingredients of
TAMIFLU. Before starting treatment, make sure
your doctor knows if you are taking any other medication
or have any type of kidney disease.
Can TAMIFLU be used in children?
TAMIFLU can be used safely to treat the flu in
adults and children aged 1 year and older. TAMIFLU
is available in a convenient oral suspension (liquid)
that's easy for children to swallow.
Can I give TAMIFLU to my child younger than 1
year of age?
TAMIFLU is indicated for the treatment of influenza
in patients aged 1 year and older who have had symptoms
for no more than 2 days.
Who should consider taking TAMIFLU?
Patients aged 1 year and older who have flu symptoms
that appeared within the previous day or two. Typical
symptoms of flu include sudden onset of fever and chills,
cough, muscle pain, headache, fatigue and weakness.
Some people also get a stuffy nose and sore throat.
What can I expect if I take TAMIFLU?
In two large clinical trials, one conducted in the USA
and one conducted outside the USA, flu patients who
took TAMIFLU felt better 1.3 days (30%) faster
than flu patients who did not take TAMIFLU.
Can I take other medications with TAMIFLU?
TAMIFLU has been shown to have a good safety profile,
with minimal chance of drug interactions. Your doctor
or healthcare professional may recommend taking over-the-counter
medications to reduce fever or other symptoms while
the antiviral action of TAMIFLU takes effect. Before
starting treatment make sure that your healthcare professional
knows if you are taking any other medication.
How and when should I take TAMIFLU?
TAMIFLU should be taken twice daily (once in
the morning and once in the evening) for five days.
TAMIFLU can be taken with or without food. As
with many medicines, if taken with a light snack, milk,
or a meal, the potential for stomach upset may be reduced.
You should complete the entire treatment of ten capsules,
even if you are feeling better. Never share TAMIFLU
with anyone, even if they have the same symptoms. It
is important that you begin your treatment with TAMIFLU
as soon as possible from the first appearance of your
flu symptoms.
What if I miss a dose?
If you forget to take your medicine at any time, take
the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless if it
is near the next dose (within 2 hours). You can continue
to take TAMIFLU at the usual times. You do not
need to take a double-dose. If you have missed several
doses, inform your doctor and follow the advice given
to you.
What are common possible side effects of TAMIFLU
treatment?
TAMIFLU is generally well tolerated. The most
common side effects are nausea and vomiting. Taking
TAMIFLU with food may reduce the potential of
these side effects. If you notice any side effects not
mentioned - or if you have any concerns about the side
effects you are experiencing, please inform your healthcare
professional.
Should I get a flu shot?
TAMIFLU is not a substitute for a flu shot. You
should continue receiving an annual flu shot according
to guidelines on immunization practices that your physician
can discuss with you.
What if I am pregnant or nursing?
If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant while
taking TAMIFLU, talk to your doctor before taking
this medication. TAMIFLU is normally not recommended
for use during pregnancy or nursing, as the effects
on the unborn child or nursing infant are unknown.
How and where should I store TAMIFLU?
TAMIFLU capsules should be stored at room temperature
below 77°F (25°C) and kept in a dry place. Keep
this medication out of the reach of children
