caused by influenza virus). It belongs to a group of medicines

Consult your healthcare professional before using this drug.
Uses
Antibiotics are medicines that kill bacteria and are, therefore,
not effective against viral infections. Because flu is a viral infection,
it should be treated with an antiviral medication, such as Tamiflu.
Tamiflu is used for the treatment of infection
by the influenza virus. It is indicated in patients 1 year and older
who have had symptoms for no more than 2 days. Tamiflu
is a Neuraminidase Inhibitors and treats the cause of influenza
infection by inhibiting the critical neuraminidase protein on the
surface of the virus.
How
to take this medication
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.
Side
Effects
Tamiflu is generally well tolerated, though it
may cause mild-to-moderate nausea or vomiting in one out of 10 people.
Taking Tamiflu with food may reduce the potential
for these side effects. Other less common side effects may include
bronchitis, sleeplessness and vertigo

that you are taking. Inform your doctor of any other medical conditions
including kidney disorders, allergies, pregnancy, or breast-feeding.
