tamiflu how does it work

Flu vaccine does not work. But Tamiflu is safe. Rest with plenty of fluids and it shall pass.

Would herpes cause strong flu symptoms without the sores? my doc recons i should take tamiflu as it sounds like swine/seasonal flu. hope it is! am of course goin for a sexual health screen but have been recommended to wait 2 weeks as things wont show before this.. so in the meantime.. i'm gettin a little worried. :( any advice would be very helpful. also.. any other stds cause these kinda reactions? Thanks in advance!

Mainly for prevention i was exposed to three different people who had it but I started showing some symptoms it just makes me nervous I've been uncomfortable since yesterday a lot of stretching feelings and some mild cramps.

Does it hurt when you breath or it is hard to breath? Those are signs of pneumonia as well and fever but fever is part of the flu too.Good to get it checked just in case.

the virus itself causes pneumonia, pneumonia is a symptom not a condition....check the expiration date on the tamiflu and a pneumonia shot probably wont do any good seeing as this is an unseen unheard of virus until now.

I am 5 weeks pregnant with my 3RD baby. I came down with a cold on Thursday. My cough is horrible and I have been running fevers a lot. I called my OB and she called in a RX for tamiflu. I've never been on it before but she assured me that it was safe. She said my cough may turn into pneumonia or bronchitis and that may be worse then taking the meds. I never went thru this with my boys so I'm a little unsure. I did research and it seems safe. What are others opinion on this.

My four-year-old grandson, who has leukemia, was just diagnosed with the flu despite having the shot this year. I also had the shot prior to my diagnosis. Obviously it doesn't cover strain B, which is what he has. My husband and I kept him until this morning so we have been exposed big time. Does anyone know about Tamiflu and whether or not it should be taken with HCV. My guess is it's okay, but my hepa will not respond to any of my questions, so I'm asking here.

Get to a doctor and get a tamiflu prescription asap if you test positive. It took me almost a month to recover.

Never worked for me but, it does for some so definitely worth a try.

I am starting the slimfast program tomorrow. My question is does it really work? I am also in a wheel chair..But i do get my legs walking 1 or 2 hours a day .

I have then flu now and my doc put me on tamiflu. The studies that have been done in animals on the drug don't show any issues but it hasn't been tested enough. The cdc does recommend treatment with tamiflu if u have the flu or are exposed to someone with it while pregnant. The med will cause gi upset like nausea and vomiting amd diarrhea in 20% of people who take it. It's worth considering since flu rate deaths are highest in children, pregnant women and the elderly.

Keep us posted to see how you're doing! If it works I'll try it when I'm close to my due date or over due..does it taste gross? Or does it just end up giving you a ton of gas??

Thanks so much for answering and yes i feel horrible super sick they did a nose swab and sent it out to get tested the precribe tamiflu cse the doctor said its high risk cse I'm pregnant u have to start taking medication withing the first 2 days

Doctors routinely insist that we do get the flu shot while we are on treatment as it is considered a chronic disease with liver damage and we do not need any further complications. I was on tx for 72 weeks and had the shot twice. I now get it every year. Also being vaccinated against pneumonia is a good idea too. If you have had the shot before you should assume you are fine with it. If you have an allergy to latex or eggs they make a special shot for that type of person.

So if this does happen and they have been given tamiflu for the wrong reason it probably wont work when they need it. Not only that it will give false figures and when we think we are in the clear, all the people who were misdiagnosed will probably catch it later towards the winter. The virus will never burn out at this rate. The best way to burn it out is to let it run its natural course.

I did it and it was right about me having a girl amd my hair dresser did it and it was right for her having a boy...

Good luck ladies!! It's a scary thing but try not to work yourself up to much. My sister is an RN and she is telling me that the media is blowing it way out of proportion. I am exposed to it every day I work right now as the schools have got it circulating now. I'm a bus driver. But I'm hearing it is just like a normal flu but the people who are dying from it are ones that aren't seeking help fast enough. If you show a high fever get in to see someone right away.
