Tamiflu, but in Denmark swine flu has shown resistance to this.
if you have a really strong immune system, but if you can afford medicine like tamiflu.
Absolutely not. Tamiflu is a prescription medicine meant only to shorten the flu.
No, Tamiflu is for treating Parvo in dogs - if the dog does not have Parvo, it does not need Tamiflu.
Tamiflu does not contain any acetaminophen. Tamiflu and acetaminophen can be safely administered together to relieve the aches and pain of influenza.
this might not be the best answer, but i was perscribed Tamiflu, and the dr i went to was 99% sure i had swine. Tamiflu is a govt medicine and i was told some HEB's have it, i had to go to 3 HEB stores to find it... i feel sooo much better, its only a pill, easy to swallow
No, not really. Tamiflu is an antiviral medicine that is given to help reduce the duration and lessen the severity of symptoms in influenza and other viral infections. It is not made to be a good cough medicine although it will eventually help you get over the flu and stop coughing. A good medicine for a cough from the flu is called guaifenesin, you will find it in Over The Counter cough medicines like Robitussin (and its generic equivalents). It is also the active ingredient in Mucinex which will also help control cough from influenza.
