User Reviews for Oseltamivir

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Influenza: Went to Dr with flu. Started Tamiflu. In two days, started noticing a rash, swelling in hands, arms, legs and feet. Could not sleep, though extremely tired. Weakness and dizziness was terrible.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Avian Influenza: My Granddaughter all of a sudden came down with a high fever of 105 degrees. We took her to urgent care her flu test came up positive for Type A. The doctor gave her Tamiflu and within 1 day her fever was completely gone. Within two days she was 60% better. Unfortunately I became ill and sure enough tested positive for Type A flu. I was given Tamiflu and I have never experienced such quick results. I was very ill with fever, chills, fatigue, body aches, terrible congestion, and coughing. After 1 day on Tamiflu, my symptoms lessened. I was 50% better within 24 hours and 70% better within 48 hours. The only downside was I lost some hearing in my left ear & have 2 severely infected ears. Dr. said side effect of Tamiflu is ear infections.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Influenza: Flu came on quickly on Saturday. Docs office was closed and I was sick all day Sunday and called first thing Monday morning and they got me in for an appointment. Fever was 102 with chills, headache, etc. I got the flu shot several months prior but it covered the wrong strain which is the one that hit me. Doc gave me prescription for Tamiflu which I started right away. I still stayed home from work Monday and Tuesday but felt better on Wednesday, still a bit sluggish though. Did this help shorten the duration? Not certain but I think it definitely did help.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Influenza: Came home from college classes at 10:15 am got out of my car and felt the chills coming. Went upstairs to rest and figured that I'm sick. Called my doc and scheduled an appointment. He prescribed me Tamiflu and I thought, "Anything that makes this cruddy feeling go away is better than nothing." Took one when I got home at 4pm and one at 9pm. Woke up the next morning feeling way better than the day before. Fever went down, slight headache persisted. Otherwise, a champion of a medicine!

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Influenza: Most effective. Thought I had a cold from travel, but had high fever unusual for me [30 years since last time!] Unresponsive to Aspirin/Tylenol. Diagnosed with Influenza A. 2 Capsules & 18 hours later POOF, fever gone & 98.6. Other Conditions persist: Chills with sweats, hazy feeling, equilibrium off, cough transitioning to yellow mucus. Side effects: 30 hours since fever dropped, body temperature has remained 1-2 degrees below normal. Eyesight is impaired where I see better without my glasses far, but have trouble reading small print like medicine instructions with glasses. Continued ringing in my ears. Insomnia because I should be drop-dead tired.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Influenza: I thought I was going to die from the flu. Had it for right around 48 hours when I was able to find one of those speed clinics that can get it for you. Felt 100% better within 24 hours. It's amazing.

Very sick Tuesday morning, took first dose that afternoon. Daughter vomited. Wednesday daughter was obviously better, husband still horribly sick. Thursday, daughter is up and dancing. Still have diarrhea, but will take this over husband's version any day. Expensive though.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Influenza: Very expensive though.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Influenza: I was in bed, aches, chills, 102 fever, dizzy, all the good stuff that comes with the flu - just miserable. I tested positive for the flu and took my first dose that evening. Within a day and a half, I feel so much better. I still have some symptoms, but I don't feel like I'm knocking at death's door.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Influenza: Starting feeling bad on Sunday went to my Dr. On Monday she said I had the flu so I started Tamiflu it seems to have helped me a lot and pretty quick I just have had a terrible headache for 2 days and diarrhea other than that its been great..

Tamiflu (oseltamivir): I came down with flu-like symptoms and was prescribed Tamiflu the next day. I took the first dose right away and started feeling better within 24 hours. However, the next day, I began developing an itchy rash on my hands and toes, so I discontinued the medication, just to be safe.

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) for Influenza: I started to develop classic flu symptoms at 3.00 pm Tuesday. I am looking after my husband who is receiving chemotherapy and radiation therapy for cancer, so it was vital that I get back on my feet ASAP. I visited the GP at 5.45pm Tuesday and had a temperature of 39 degrees Celsius. I was prescribed Tamiflu and took the first dose at 6.30pm. I took a second dose at about midnight and by about 3.00 am the fever had gone as well as the terrible aches and pains. I have also been taking large doses of Cenovis brand Horseradish, Garlic and Vitamin C, and prescribed doses of paracetamol. At midday on Day 2, still taking Tamiflu and feeling 90% normal, however I am still isolating myself as much as possible and disinfecting everything I touch!

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.

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 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: 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: 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 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 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 Swine Flu: Great Stuff. Helps soften conditions with no ill effects.

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: 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!
