Tamiflu not working
Common Questions and Answers about Tamiflu not working
tamiflu
I have been so miserable for a whole week now. There is no relief and at times I feel like I'm dying. This might sound dramatic but I am serious my nose runs like a faucet I cannot breathe through it my TEETH hurt so bad I can't chew a banana. My throat and mouth are on fire because of all the mouth breathing and the aches pains and chills are enough to send me up the wall! I have never had the flu before but I wouldn't wish this on Hitler!
Tamiflu is completely safe for pregnant mama's. I'm a pharmacy assistant, a dispensary assistant and used to be a medical receptionist and a practice manager. So I'm partially aware of what's safe and whats not (obviously not as advanced as doctors and pharmacists) but it is most definitely safe to take. It's generally used for Influenza though not just a common cold.
30 weeks pregnant, has anyone ever took tamiflu while pregnant? Any side affects to you or your child after birth?
About a year ago, I had a flu-like illness (fever, chills, body aches) and I went to an Urgent Care Center and was given TamiFLU, although I was not swabbed for the flu. The next week I woke up to get ready for work, but when I stood up I fell straight to the ground from severe dizziness. My vision seemed blurry and double, I had a low grade fever (100.3F), nausea, and a debilitating headache erupted.
My OB called me and told me that as a prevention she wanted to put me on Tamiflu which is not recommended for pregnant women because the side effects are unknown. She said that the benefits would outweigh the negatives most likely because there have already been deaths linked to this strain of flu. The pharmacist didn't seem worried because I am 18 weeks along. Any of you ladies been put on tamiflu? Should I trust my doctor and pharmacist?
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.
Since you could not possibly have caught HIV from the protected oral sex event, it is not possible your symptoms are due to HIV (unless you have had other HIV exposures). Also, acute HIV symptoms start 10-20 days after exposure; 2 months is much too late. Your doctor obviously believes your symptoms are not just "flu-like", but are in fact the flu (influenza). That is the only condition that Tamiflu is used for.
You do not need HIV testing.
Hi all. I am so frustrated. I am 37 weeks pregnant, which is already tough, and I have had the flu for a week. I am exhausted and can not seem to get better. I am a stay at home mom with a 2 year old boy and a 3 year old boy. They have been battling the flu as well. My husband also has the flu, but his work will not let him off. I feel so helpless. Our house is a disaster and I'm not getting any better. Does anyone have any advice for me? TIA.
Get to a doctor and get a tamiflu prescription asap if you test positive. It took me almost a month to recover.
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 was diagnosed with influenza on sunday in the er and the doctor prescribed me with tamiflu 75mg but I'm worried about my baby getting harmed by the medication because I'm only 14 weeks...any comments or recommendations???
My husband and MIL had the flu over Christmas, but I had a flu shot and was fine. You can take Tamiflu while pregnant if you do get the flu.
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!!
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.
