Anybody taking this stuff? Does it work? Is there a downside? (I took my first tablet earlier to-day. Will take the second to-night.)
 
What's it for Rock? :confused:
 
is this available over the counter yet? Personally I would like to have some handy.
 
OK- did a search... Flu Medication!

http://www.tamiflu.com/

With side effects like this...

Rare but serious skin reactions and allergic reactions have been reported. Stop taking TAMIFLU and call your doctor if you experience any of these reactions, as they could be very serious.
People with the flu, particularly children and adolescents, may be at an increased risk of self injury and confusion shortly after taking TAMIFLU and should be closely monitored for signs of unusal behavior. A healthcare professional should be contacted immediately if the patient taking TAMIFLU shows any signs of unusual behavior.
The most common side effects of TAMIFLU are mild to moderate nausea and vomiting. TAMIFLU is generally well tolerated.
In addition, take the following precautions when using TAMIFLU:
  • You should not take TAMIFLU if you are allergic to oseltamivir phosphate or any other ingredients of TAMIFLU.
  • TAMIFLU is normally not recommended for use during pregnancy or nursing, as the effects on the unborn child or nursing infant are unknown. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant or breastfeeding while taking TAMIFLU, talk to your doctor before taking TAMIFLU.
  • If you have any type of kidney disease, talk to your doctor before starting TAMIFLU therapy.
  • The use of TAMIFLU along with an intranasal flu vaccine like FluMist®* has not been evaluated. However, due to the possibility for interference between these products, an intranasal flu vaccine should not be given within 2 weeks before or 48 hours after taking TAMIFLU, unless it is deemed appropriate by your doctor. The type of flu vaccine administered as a shot through the skin can be given at any time relative to use of TAMIFLU.
As with any medication, be sure to discuss with your doctor any over–the–counter or prescription medicines you are currently taking before beginning TAMIFLU therapy.


I think I'll pass! :rolleyes:


Besides... I'm already immune...

Why? Do you have influenza?

It's not a preventive medecine.

Taking Tamiflu if you have no symptoms is stupid..all it will do is make your body resistant to it working when you need to take it if you do get infected.

I got mine via a prescription which was paid by the company's drug plan (when I was still working). Don't know if it is available over the counter. My doc (a real doctor) said to keep it handy until 3 ladies in Port Perry catch the Swine Flu and then to take two a day until all 10 have been consumed.

(P.S. One of the side effects is the constant urge to look at pics of nude women with ample bums.:eek: )

I don't take any medication for that... (or anything else for that matter) I am naturally immune! Seriously.

And to be clear I said NOTHING of "ample" bums... my exact quotation was "I have an extreme weakness for a well formed female derriere" :D

Whatever.:p I can't find the post now but I think one of the ladies called it: "Bountiful Booty". An ample bum by any other name is still an ample bum.

Tamiflu can be used so that you do not develop the flu. So, in fact IT IS preventive medicine.
Individuals do not develop resistance to the medication.

Yes..but sadly for maximum effect anti-virals like Tamiflu work best once there are symptoms on an infection.

And I misspoke, it's the more that it’s used, the more potential there is for developing resistant virus. So if you use a lot when it’s really not necessary in the community, there’s a higher chance that you’ll develop resistant virus.

That’s what happened with the, seasonal flu. The drugs no longer work for the regular flu because they were over-used and a resistance developed.

I should be ok. The wise doctor only prescribed 10 tablets. Yes, there is already Swine flu in the community.
 
Does Tamil-flu have anything to do with how I feel about the recent demonstrations on University Ave? Don't get me started.
