999flu
Tamiflu (oseltamivir phosphate) is a very effective antiviral flu medication which can be
taken to both treat and to prevent the flu.
Currently Tamiflu is one of the most widely prescribed of all the flu medications on the
market.
During the clinical trials Tamiflu showed a tremendous success rate.
When given to adults, Tamiflu was shown to reduce the duration of the flu virus by
30% and similarly when administered children Tamiflu was shown to reduce the
duration of the flu virus by 26%. Tamiflu works to either prevent the flu—when taken
before contracting the virus—or to lessen the duration and the overall symptoms of
the flu virus when taking to treat the flu. Tamiflu is safe for both children and adults
ages 1 and older.
For flu treatment: When taken within two days of experiencing symptoms, TAMIFLU works by helping to stop the flu
virus from spreading inside the body For flu prevention: When you have been exposed to someone with the flu, taking
TAMIFLU can help keep the virus from making you sick
The flu can hit like a ton and bricks and usually leaves most people bed ridden for days, with symptoms lasting as long
as two weeks in some cases. The flu can also be deadly in both children and adults who have compromised immune
systems due to their age.
