Tamiflu is approved for use by the US Federal Drug Administration (FDA) as a prophylactic (preventive) measure against influenza, and depending on exactly when it is started, it may help prevent symptoms. It is most often prescribed to treat a viral infection soon after symptoms begin to lessen the severity and shorten the duration of the symptoms. The literature with Tamiflu recommends that prophylactic use of the anti-viral medication is begun within the first 40 hours of symptoms.
