User Reviews for Oseltamivir

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Influenza: Weigh your options. The medicine may work but the side effects may be worse. My son was vomiting often, had severe abdominal pain and had some difficulty breathing while taking this medicine.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Swine Flu: I got MS and bad Asthma, been given Tamiflu as prevention as we got influenza in the area. I have had 1 day of flu symptoms and my GP put me on Tamiflu just in case. I must say the 1st tablet I did take this afternoon completely wiped me out. However, side effects are no different to when I have to take Predisone (steroids), dizzy, burning hot, very very sleepy.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Swine Flu: After contracting Swine flu I was given Tamiflu as treatment. While it has,(touch wood), prevented the virus spreading to my lungs which was a concern as an asthmatic, the side effects are less than pleasant. I found that it made you confused, unable to think properly, string sentences together or concentrate. Made me irritable, thirsty, stomach cramps, muscle aches and very very sleepy.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Influenza: I used this drug for suspected Swine Flu. It definitely works wonders but what I noticed was that it affected my brain in some ways. I am confused and less tolerant than I was before. I am hoping it is temporary.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Swine Flu: The drug did work for me. I have psoriasis, and it was just getting better, but after taking Tamiflu it has really flared it up again. It has gone very dry and scaly again.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Swine Flu: My 8 month old son was given Tamiflu and it worked a treat. I'm just hoping he doesn't catch swine flu again because living with the moaning was a nightmare.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Influenza: Other than it's cost ($60 with insurance)...I highly recommend this medication...Within 2 days of first taking it I felt 100% better.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Influenza: Effective use on 3 separate cases of suspected flu - the last of which also had augmentin for secondaries.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Swine Flu: I rate Tamiflu highly, I was given it three days ago after contracting suspected swine flu and it has done the job very well. I did after taking the first tablet feel really sick but apart from that I had no other side effects.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Swine Flu: I had no major problems with this medication. My 2 year old daughter, my husband, and I all contracted swine flu and were all put on Tamiflu. After just 2 doses, my daughter was back to her normal self. Never suffered any side effects. It took 2 or 3 doses for my husband and I to start feeling better, my husband had no problems with it either. The only problem I had was vomiting 30 min-an hour after taking the medication. But once I started taking it with a meal, that stopped. We went from feeling absolutely miserable on Sunday to feeling pretty much back to normal on Monday night. It's now Tuesday morning, fever has been gone for 24 hours, weakness has subsided, aches are long gone, all I have left is a cough. Highly recommend Tamiflu.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Influenza: I used Tamiflu for influenza, it made a world of difference. I was so sick that I could barely get out of bed to take care of myself or my toddler, who also had influenza. By day 2 on the medication, I felt about 80% better. Influenza is a much more serious virus than I ever thought. Thank goodness for antivirals.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Swine Flu: This made my daughter and I nauseous. She threw up, we were both exhausted by it. She had headaches. It was awful. Better to let the flu run its course. My other daughter and husband tolerated it very well.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Swine Flu: Great Stuff. Helps soften conditions with no ill effects.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Influenza: On the morning of my second pill of Tamiflu, I went to have my hair done. Hair salon used the same chemicals on me that they have been for over 8 years and had a severe skin reaction with the bleach, due to Tamiflu. I had purple hives all over my face, my lips were red and swollen, my upper torso was covered in a red burning rash and my scalp has burns and sores all over it. I contacted my urgent care facility who administered it to me and they said severe skin reaction is a side symptom. I stopped taking the Tamiflu at their advice.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Influenza: It was three days before Christmas 2010 and my husband and I was out and about shopping in the Malls and stores for Christmas gifts. It just came on him really fast ache, shakes and sweat, fever of 104.7 sniffling, sneezing, coughing, aching everywhere, stuffy head. So bad that he was out for the count and we thought we would not get to go anywhere for Christmas. Well then to top it off my Son who is 14 got sick too. So I was working taking care of them and you guessed it got sick too! We all went to the doctor and got Tamiflu and wow!!! Miracle medicine. Would love to Kiss the person who found this! We were coming out of it the first day we all took it. The Best 1-10 it a 100! Thanks so very much from not sick any more.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Swine Flu: My 5 year old daughter was diagnosed with the flu (H1N1, but they did not verify officially due to the number of cases in the area) and went from a fever of 104F, chills, body aches, sore throat, etc to almost completely back to normal with no sign of fever after 2 doses (24 hours). She has had no ill side effects and I couldn't be more relieved to see her healthy again. I highly recommend this medication!

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Influenza: It was great. After two days I felt fine - I was groggy after the first dose, but then I was groggy before I took it so the grogginess could have just been the flu. The only drawback is Tamiflu is very expensive and my insurance didn't cover it.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Swine Flu: Tamiflu helped reduce my 2yr old's symptoms to cold like symptoms. The coughing remained, but decreased. The vomiting stopped as did the fever and diarrhea. I would recommend this medicine.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Swine Flu: Our pharmacy mixed Tamiful in-house for our five-month-old. As soon as the medicine was in her mouth, her stomach would convulse and she would completely empty her stomach, whether she took it alone or with food. We were told by the doctor there was no other option other than to discontinue use. Two days later, we were back at the pharmacy to fill the same prescription for her 4-year-old brother. The commercial preparation was available then. I talked to the pharmacist about the baby's reaction to Tamiflu, and she said the sugar base from the in-house mix was the likely culprit. We refilled the baby's prescription with the commercial preparation, and she tolerated it just fine. I'm so grateful, because she really needed the medicines!

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Influenza: I was given Tamiflu by the hospital, and at first, it seemed to work. I didn't have such a bad runny nose, or coughing. However, the side effects were just horrible. I had nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, headaches, and, as my friend describes it, I was "just not with it." I took it in pill form, and I think it was perhaps because of the plastic-feeling outer cover I was forced to swallow. I don't particularly recommend it, especially since it also gave me a little insomnia. That was a slight problem, having the flu and all, since sleeping is actually important if I want to heal.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Influenza: This medication is pretty expensive but I believe it has helped shorten the duration of the flu. I started with symptoms on Sunday, tested positive with the flu on Monday and started Tamiflu that evening. Today is Wednesday and I feel a lot better - no fever either. I have experienced some nasty bathroom-related side effects but I'll take that over high fever, blistering headache, etc.
