Tamiflu Drug Uses

Tamiflu is used for the treatment of uncomplicated acute illness due to influenza infection.

How Taken

You may take Tamiflu with or without food. However, when taken with food, your tolerability to Tamiflu may be enhanced. The recommended oral dose of Tamiflu is 75 mg twice daily for 5 days. You should begin treatment within 2 days of onset of symptoms of influenza.

Tamiflu Warnings/Precautions

Tamiflu is not a substitute for a flu vaccination. You should continue receiving an annual flu vaccination. It is not known whether this medicine is excreted in human milk. You should therefore, use this drug only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the breast-fed infant.

Tamiflu Missed Dose

If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.

Tamiflu Possible Side Effects

You may experience some common, less serious side effects: nausea (without vomiting), vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, dizziness, headache, cough, insomnia, fatigue.

Tamiflu Storage

Store Tamiflu under refrigeration at 36º to 46ºF (2º to 8ºC). Do not freeze.

Tamiflu Overdose

Symptoms of a Tamiflu overdose are nausea and/or vomiting. Seek medical attention if an overdose is suspected.

More Information

You should begin treatment with Tamiflu as soon as possible from the first appearance of flu symptoms. Similarly, prevention should begin as soon as possible after exposure, at the recommendation of a physician.

In addition to cost-savings, beneficiaries enrolled in Medspharmacy-online.com have access to an increased level of patient safety, including drug utilization review and other clinical safety programs. Additionally, all Medspharmacy-online.com members are covered under Medco's Polypharmacy Safety Program, which helps reduce the risk of adverse events associated with the use of multiple prescriptions prescribed by multiple physicians and filled by multiple pharmacies - a scenario that substantially increases the risk of medication errors. A recent analysis by Medco found that seniors cared for by five doctors have a 60 percent greater risk of an adverse medication event than those seen by only two doctors.

Seniors no longer have to make tradeoffs between quality and price. Medspharmacy-online.com offers higher-quality, lower-cost and no-compromise pharmacy care.

Medspharmacy-online.com, which is an approved, national prescription drug program, provides Medicare beneficiaries broad coverage on more than 3,000 medications, access to more than 2,000 pharmacists, available 24/7, a retail pharmacy network of more than 50,000 pharmacies, and Savings Advisors who provide free consultations and work with members' doctors to save them the most money under the plan.

Development of antiviral drugs Viruses, not quite proper living things, consist of a genome and sometimes a few enzymes (biocatalysts) stored in a capsule made of protein, and very rarely covered with a lipid (fat) layer. Viruses cannot reproduce on their own, and so they propagate by hijacking cells to do the job for them. To develop early antivirals, researchers grew cultures of cells and infected them with the target virus. They then introduced chemicals into the cultures thought likely to inhibit viral activity, and observed whether the level of virus in the cultures rose or fell. Chemicals that seemed to have an effect were selected for closer study. This was a very time-consuming, hit-or-miss procedure, and in the absence of a good knowledge of how the target virus worked, not very good at discovering antivirals that were effective and had few side effects. It was not until the 1980s, when the full genetic sequences of viruses began to be unraveled, that researchers began to learn how viruses worked in detail, and exactly what kinds of molecules were needed to jam their machinery. The general idea behind modern antiviral drug design is to identify viral proteins, or parts of proteins, that can be disabled. These "targets" should generally be as unlike any proteins or parts of proteins in humans as possible, to reduce the likelihood of side effects. The targets should also be common across many strains of a virus, or even among different species of virus in the same family, so a single drug will have broad effectiveness. For example, a researcher might target a critical enzyme synthesized by the virus, but not the patient, that is common across strains, and see what can be done to interfere with its operation. Once targets are identified, candidate drugs can be selected, either from drugs already known to have appropriate effects, or by actually designing the candidate at the molecular level with a computer-aided design program. In either case, the candidates can be synthesized by plugging the gene that synthesizes that protein into bacteria or other kinds of cells. The bacteria or cells are then cultured for mass production of the protein, which can then be sifted by "rapid screening" technologies to see which of the candidates are the most effective.
