Oseltamivir for Influenza "My family has all gotten the flu this year. First Daughter, who had a flu shot, came home not feeling well. The next day she was worse: chills, pains, coughing. The doctor put her on Tamiflu, and two days later she was able to function, still feeling fatigued and coughing. Then my second daughter came down with the flu and decided to ride it out. Seven days later she is still coughing but finally able to get out of bed. Then my husband began with a cough, and by the next morning he was aching all over. The doctor put him on Tamiflu, and within two days he was without the cough and regaining strength. I came down with the flu, so I contacted my doctor and immediately was put on Tamiflu. One day into it, I felt like I was knocked down and struggling to get up. After two days, I am starting to feel better. We also mixed Mucinex with the Tamiflu. It appears the earlier you can take Tamiflu, once signs present themselves, the suffering and length are dramatically shortened. I would do this again!"

Oseltamivir for Influenza "My 9-month-old son had a fever on Tuesday and was sent home from daycare. Luckily, I was able to get him into the doctor immediately. The doctor thought he had respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) but tested him for both RSV and the flu. Surprisingly, he only tested positive for influenza A and was prescribed Tamiflu that night at 8 pm. Already by 4 am Wednesday, his fever was gone (with no Tylenol) and never came back. He still has a cough and gets tired a little easier than normal... but that's it! This medicine worked amazing on my baby... Remember though, it was started within the first 24 hours. I highly recommend this medicine!"

Oseltamivir for Influenza "I was diagnosed with type B influenza this morning and was prescribed Tamiflu. I was feeling pretty good until I took it. The chills came back, and the cough got worse, and I cannot breathe through my nose. Now that the Tamiflu is wearing off, I am starting to feel better. I paid $106.00 for my prescription, now I am wondering if I should keep taking it or throw it away? :("

Oseltamivir for Influenza "I started aching in my chest at 5:00 pm. By 6:00 pm, I started coughing non-stop. By 7:00 pm, my shoulder muscles were aching. Around 9:00 pm or 10:00 pm, I felt like I was getting a fever, but I didn’t know because I was still at work. Finally, I got home around 2:00 am, took my temperature, and it was 102. I had chills, and my gums even hurt. I knew I had the flu. Fortunately, I had Tamiflu on hand and started taking it within 9 hours of starting flu-like symptoms. That night, I kept the fever, but my coughing became less. The next morning, no fever, felt a little dizzy, but fatigued. Rested that whole day in bed. The following day, I felt cured. Unbelievable how this medicine works if you catch the flu early enough."

For Influenza Prophylaxis "I had bought this drug online for a trip to China. Never tried it before. Was concerned about the nausea and/or missed the short initial window for starting the course. Returned from a cross-country flight and within five days had a bad sore throat. Following directions, I took the first dose within 24 hours after eating a meal. No nausea. Day 4, I still feel sick - sore throat, sore neck by ears, hoarse, coughing, headache - but all are bearable, and I can function. I imagine it would have been much worse w/o the drug. I forgot to wipe down the airline seat and environs on the last leg of the trip. Never again!"

Oseltamivir for Influenza "Mid-February, I had a sore throat and cough that would not go away. Developed into a 102-degree fever, and I went to the doctor and did the swab and was told I had the flu. Took Tamiflu and an antifreeze-colored cough syrup and felt noticeably better on day two after beginning with meds. Stayed home for a total of five days without leaving the house, and my energy level didn't come back to normal for a couple of weeks, but I eventually got over it. Now, I've got a head cold with all the discomforts of that, but not nearly as bad as a month ago. Hoping this Z-Pack kicks this cold to the curb!"

Oseltamivir for Influenza "The usual flu symptoms. Tamiflu cut out everything but some coughing after 12-24 hours. Felt like a miracle."

Oseltamivir for Swine Flu "Tamiflu helped reduce my 2-year-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."
