Tamiflu warning doctors
Common Questions and Answers about Tamiflu warning doctors
tamiflu
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.
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.
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!!
I have been diagnosed with the flu type b on Monday. My fevere goes up and down but really doesn't stay down permanently. I am taking tamiflu, theraflu, Motrin as prescribed by the doctors. My throat feels ripped open and today I noticed that there is some blood in the phlegm that I cough up. Is this a sign of pneumonia?
30 weeks pregnant, has anyone ever took tamiflu while pregnant? Any side affects to you or your child after birth?
I am currently 16 weeks pregnant and just found out I have the flu. My OB put me on Tamiflu but my primary said she wasn't sure about it. Has anyone been on this while pregnant? I'm worried it's going to hurt the baby. Also it did get the flu vaccine, I was only a couple weeks pregnant so I didn't know but I'm a little mad they push a vaccine that obviously doesn't work.
All of those symptoms are warning signs you might get it. If you do end up getting it go to the doctor within the first 48 hours preferably the first and ask to see if your doctor had tamiflu so it can stop it.

In the early stages of acidic pH in the body’s tissues, the warning symptoms are mild. These include such things as skin eruptions, headaches, allergies, colds, flu and sinus problems. These symptoms are frequently treated (manipulated) with antibiotic drugs and suppressive medications. The longer and the deeper we become acidic the more our illness takes hold so it’s best to fight acidic conditions early on and in every presenting clinical situation.
told us that he was not eleigible to recieve a prescription for Tamiflu. Where can I find any federal or state restictions for eleigibility.
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.
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?
Get to a doctor and get a tamiflu prescription asap if you test positive. It took me almost a month to recover.
Doctors recommend that all sexually active people be tested for HIV. Those that recommend testing after oral sex are few and usually not specialists in infectious diseases.
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?
I cannot understand why doctors do not warn of the dangers of pain pill addiction???? I haven't been on here for awhile, my father died and we buried him yesterday. At our post funeral get together I was talking to my cousin who fell off a ladder and broke several bones in his leg and endured several surgeries. He told me that he stopped taking the Vic's and went thru horrible withdrawal.
A woman in her 40s who was taking care of her mother (the mother was sick with the swine flu) was refused TamiFlu medication because she had had three negative Rapid-Flu tests (whatever they're actually called). Here the poor woman was living with her mother, taking care of her mother, and she was experiencing all the swine flu symptoms her mother had (duhhhhh!).
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???
Doctors suggest you dont quit cold turkey cause it can put your baby in shock, bt i quit cold turkey a week before i found out i was pregnant, it kept making me sick. As long as youre trying to quit or atleast slow down is good though because not every one can just quit like its nothing. Dont let anyone make you feel bad.
My son called a number of her doctors, and they said her temp is ok for now. She was diagnosed w/H1N1 by the family PCP this morning.
Her Mom has gone to stay w/her.
I'm concerned because I know her immune system is very weak, and she has not yet completely recovered from the surgery and still has pain.
My granddaughter, DIL's daughter, had H1N1 3 weeks ago, and I kept her at my house.
