Product Information
Tamiflu (oseltamivir) is indicated for the treatment of influenza in patients 1 year and older who have had symptoms for no more than 2 days. Tamiflu speeds recovery from the flu. When started during the first 2 days of the illness, it hastens improvement by at least a day. It also can prevent the flu if treatment is started within 2 days after exposure to a flu victim. Tamiflu is one of a new class of antiviral drugs called neuraminidase inhibitors. As the flu virus takes hold in the body, it forms new copies of itself and spreads from cell to cell. Neuraminidase inhibitors fight the virus by preventing the release of new copies from infected cells. The other drug in this class, Relenza, is taken by inhalation. Tamiflu is taken in liquid or capsule form. Tamiflu can prevent the flu as long as you continue taking this medication, but getting a yearly flu shot is still the best way of avoiding the disease entirely. For older adults, those in high-risk situations such as health-care work, and people with an immune deficiency or respiratory disease, vaccination remains a must. To provide any benefit, Tamiflu must be started within two days of the onset of symptoms, or exposure to the flu. If you have the flu, continue taking it twice daily for 5 days, even if you start to feel better. To prevent the flu, take it once a day for at least 7 days. Protection lasts as long as you take the drug. Store at room temperature. Keep the blister package dry. Most problems noted during tests of Tamiflu were indistinguishable from the symptoms of flu. Here are the reactions that showed up more frequently in patients taking the drug. More common side effects may include: Abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache, nausea, vomiting. Less common side effects may include: Bronchitis, insomnia, vertigo. If Tamiflu gives you an allergic reaction, avoid it in the future. If you have kidney disease, the doctor may have to cut your daily dose of Tamiflu in half. The effectiveness of Tamiflu has not been established for people with weakened immune systems. The drug has not been studied in people with liver disease. Tamiflu works only on the flu virus. It won't stop bacterial infections that may have flu-like symptoms or bacterial infections that may develop while you have the flu. If your symptoms persist, check with your doctor.- Tamiflu

How does Tamiflu/Oseltamivir work?
Tamiflu/Oseltamivir is belongs to the family of drugs known as an antiviral or neuraminidase Inhibitor drug and commonly used for the treatment and prevention or relief of infections caused by viruses. Tamiflu/Oseltamivir works by blocking the actions of viruses in your body. Influenza is caused by a highly contagious virus which affects the respiratory system. The virus is passed from one person to another by coughing and sneezing. When the virus enters the body it invades cells, where it replicates to form lots of new virus particles. After a couple of days a sufficient number of cells have been infected so that the patient feels flu symptoms such as headache, fever and general aches and pains, which continue for about a week until the body's immune system kills the virus. Tamiflu/Oseltamivir works by binding to the neuraminidase on the surface of the virus particles, and stopping it from working. When the neuraminidase is blocked in this way it means that newly formed viral particles cannot be released from the infected cells and therefore Tamiflu/Oseltamivir prevents the flu virus from spreading and infecting other cells.
