11062655 tn?1414987783 htm Hepatotoxicity Despite widespread use, there is little evidence that oseltamivir when given orally causes liver injury, either in the form of serum enzyme elevations or clinically apparent liver disease.

Avatar m tn You probably shouldn't take this with anything -- it isn't a very clean product. Contains some things in the inactive department that aren't good to take, such as talc and certain preservatives and sugar.

I don't know that saffron will be listed, though, as it's not been as commonly used as many others.

Several Years after, we hear about narcolepsy cases caused by the massive H1N1 vaccinations...
372366 tn?1284403873 Copyman, I think we have a rhyme for teleprivir now). Ribavirin is not one of those listed. But being a suspicicious person, I have a theory of why riba is not a suggest 'stockpiled' anti-viral. If governments and business were to create significant stockpiles of ribavirin they could be accused of accumulating weapons of mass destruction. And we all know what that could cause.
Avatar f tn Your profile says you're from the US, and this drug isn't used all that much here. So if you don't get a lot of responses, that's why. It's used mostly in Europe, due partly to a quirk in its initial development. It just didn't apply for US approval for a long time, and didn't market it here very much when it was new.
