What is Tamiflu?<\/strong>
\nTamiflu (oseltamivir phosphate) is the number-one prescribed antifungal oral therapy treatment option for influenza. Currently Tamiflu is considered to be the most effective treatment method for both treating and preventing the flu virus.<\/p>\n

How does Tamiflu Prevent or Treat the Flu?<\/strong>
\nTamiflu works by targeting and disabling the neuraminidase protein—which lives on the cells of the flu virus and allows the virus to break through the infected cells outer wall, moving on to infect other healthy cells—when this protein is disabled the virus is unable to spread to other healthy cells, remaining confined to the cells it already inhabits and eventually dying off. Tamiflu works best when taken before contracting the flu virus or when taken within 48-hours of contracting the flu virus.<\/p>\n

What is the Success Rate of Tamiflu?<\/strong>
\nTamiflu has show very good success rates during the clinical trials. When administered to children, Tamiflu showed a 26% decrease in the duration of the symptoms, as opposed to children who did not take Tamiflu to treat the flu. When administered to adults, it showed a 30% decrease in the duration of the symptoms, as opposed to adults who did not take Tamiflu to treat the flu. Basically by taking Tamiflu to treat your flu, you will effectively minimize the duration of the virus in your system by as much as one-third.<\/p>\n

Who Can’t Take Tamiflu?<\/strong>
\nWhile Tamiflu will work wonderfully for most people—like most prescriptions drugs—it is not for everybody. Women who are currently trying to conceive a child, nursing or pregnant may not be able to take Tamiflu, as well as those who currently are suffering from kidney disease, heart disease, lung disease or anybody who is not deemed healthy enough by their doctor to take this flu drug.<\/p>\n

How do I Avoid Buying Counterfeit Tamiflu?<\/strong>
\nAs more and more organized criminal brackets try to make quick ill-gotten gains by manufacturing and distributing counterfeit and dangerous versions of name-brand medications online, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has released a check-list of things to look out for when buying the drug Tamiflu from an online pharmacy.
