Tamiflu Common Medical Uses :
Tamiflu belongs to the family of medicines called antivirals. Tamiflu is a drug used to treat infections caused by two of the most common flu viruses. This medicine may decrease the length of time you experience symptoms of the flu by 1 - 2 days. It may also help to reduce the risk of spreading the flu to others.

How to Use Tamiflu:
Tamiflu is taken by mouth. You may take medication with or without food. If Tamiflu upsets your stomach, take it with food. Follow the instructions given to you by your prescriber or health care professional.

For patients taking Tamiflu for treatment of the flu: This medicine works best if taken within 2 days of having flu symptoms (weakness, headache, fever, cough, and sore throat). This medicine should be taken for 5 days. Continue taking this medicine for the full time of treatment even if you begin to feel better after a few days. This will help to clear up your infection completely. If you stop taking this medicine too soon, your symptoms may return.
For patients taking Tamiflu for prevention of the flu after exposure: The medicine should be taken within 2 days of being exposed to the flu. This drug should be taken for at least 7 days.
