My son came down withH1N1 this week but the test did not come back for five days in which is to late to use Tamiflu. They recommend using within the first 48 hours of symptoms. If used prior to or within the first 48 hours studies suggest the drug can reduce the amount of time the flu lasts. Test cases indicated a consistent reduction in sick time by 1.8 days compared to the control group. It also suggested a significant reduction in complications. The major side effect of Tamiflu was an upset stomach with vomiting. Hope this helps. (Note: Fever, dry cough, loss of appetite Bed rest and plenty of fluids (force fluids) Seven days later, hopefully it's gone. Watch out for pneumonia !

Are you immune to influenza A if you take Tamiflu?
Tamiflu is an antiviral medicine and is mostly used to help you get better once you have already caught the flu. It shortens the duration of the symptoms and makes them less severe when taken within 48 hours of your first symptoms. So, the criteria for when you can consider yourself no longer contagious is the same with or without Tamiflu. But the length of time can vary from individual to individual. According to the CDC, you can consider yourself no longer contagious after 24 straight hours from your last fever (when not taking fever reducers). That will likely be sooner for someone taking tamiflu than it is for someone who is not.
