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: 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!

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: 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: 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 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 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: 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 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 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.
