Read the recommended dose. It may vary from person to person. But dosing yourself with 10 of any tablet at once will do no good, but harm.
You have been on Tamiflu for 5 days are you still contagious?
My husband has a confirmed case of H1N1 and was given Tamiflu to help. It has made a marked difference in how he is feeling (he has been on the meds a little more than 24 hours). But, we were told he is still contagious up to 7 seven days after the onset of symptoms, or until his symptoms compleatly disappear, whichever is later. However, a different doctors office told us he was NOT contagious after 24 hours on the drug. I called a nurse line provided by our insurance, and the nurse I talked to confirmed that a person is still contagious on Tamiflu. Point being that some doctors are still sorting through this new out break and it's important to ask lots of questions and get a second (or third) opinion if you need one.

How long does the Swine Flu virus stay in humans after taking Tamiflu?
If you are sick with an influenza illness, like Swine Flu (A-H1N1/09), the symptoms typically resolve after 3-7 days, for most people, without treatment with an anti-viral medication like Tamiflu. By the end of that time, most, if not all, of the virus particles have been destroyed (neutralized) and filtered from your body. With Tamilflu, studies have shown that the recovery is 1.3 days faster for participants taking Tamiflu than those who were given a placebo. So, it would likely follow that the virus would be destroyed and filtered from your body when treated with Tamiflu after 1.7 to 5.7 days. The typical length of time Tamiflu is prescribed is 5 days.
When do you take Tamiflu?
Tamiflu used as a prophylactic (preventive) measure for the flu is usually prescribed for ten days following the last known or suspected exposure to the virus. If it is being used to treat an already infected person to lesson the severity of symptoms and shorten the duration of the flu symptoms, it is usually prescribed for a period of five days.It does not provide long term protection from the flu. Only an immunization (vaccine) can do that.
