Tamiflu mode of action
Common Questions and Answers about Tamiflu mode of action
tamiflu
The vaccine acts by introducing antigens, which stimulates your body to make antibodies against the disease. When you are exposed a second time to the same antigens (by way of coming into contact with the actual flu virus), your body is able to recognize the disease, and the antibodies go into action to prevent you from getting the flu, or to lessen the symptoms and duration by basically beating down the virus.
Tamiflu isn't a vaccine, nor a substitute for a vaccine.

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.

A doctor can write a prescription for any patient, regardless of age. He may have meant that your son doesn't fit the criteria for being helped by the drug. For example, Tamiflu is only helpful if started in the first 48 hours of the flu. You don't want him taking a medicine that won't help, and drugs become less effective when given to people that they won't help.
Yes I took tamiflu when I was pregnant with my son it's on the lowest scale for harming you or the baby. In other words its safe.
Get to a doctor and get a tamiflu prescription asap if you test positive. It took me almost a month to recover.
15, 2008 I know this is low risk after reading through some of the threads. My concerns are symptoms (which I know should not be) here are my questions:
1. For the last four days I been having flu like symtoms (fever, night sweats, body aches) , seen the dr. and he perscribed TAMIFLU. In what time frame would someone infected see symptoms if any at all?
2. Would you suggest testing and if so what test would be the correct test at 9 weeks. Would TAMIFLU affect the result?
My daughter had the flu, so she was describe some medicine. Tamiflu, and nasal spray. 2 days after taking the medicine, she complains that her mouth hurts. I look and there is a rash on the roof of her mouth, behind her 2 front teeth and her right molar... when anything cold aggrevates it. I wanted to know if this could be a reaction to the medicine?
My grandaughter had H1N1, and the doc prescribed Tamiflu at that time for the other members of the family. Lot of good that did. Now, the doc has written another Tamiflu Rx. DIL seems to be holding up ok - fever still low - 100.4 but throwing up when she's not sleeping. Guess I should worry - I now if any other symptoms appear, my son will know what to do......
Like Dr. Pernoud stated there is no relationship between altitude and rds or glaucoma.
However, if you've had a pneumatic retinopexy recently w/ SF6 or C3F8 you are not able to go to high altitudes or travel via plane as this will cause an increase in IOP.
I'm right there with you! 27 weeks for me and I just took my last dose of tamiflu. I thought I was feeling better yesterday but today I feel like I've taken two steps back. Hang in there!!
Tamiflu is in no way safe during pregnancy. The risks outweigh the benefits I'm pretty sure.its class c. I had flu last January 7 months pregnant and they couldn't give me anything. But tell me to stay hydrated!!
