The only product specifically made to prevent your catching Swine Flu is a swine flu vaccination, and it is the best way to avoid H1N1/09 infection.

There are some prophylactic (preventive) medications, the anti-viral medications, like Tamiflu, which if given at the proper time during expected exposure (like from another household member who has it), may prevent infection. Other helpful products to avoid infection are hand washing soaps, waterless hand sanitizers, tissues to cough and sneeze into, antiviral sprays and disinfectants to keep surfaces clean. For some exposures only, N95-rated respirator masks are recommended.

If you already have the virus, anti-viral products like Tamiflu, may lessen the severity of symptoms and shorten the duration of the infection.

There are many products touted on the internet and in other locations that are not effective, and are a waste of time and money for this purpose. Ask a nurse or your other health care professionals before buying them.
