Tamiflu (oseltamivir) is effective in reducing the duration and severity of influenza symptoms when taken within the first 48 hours of symptom onset. Studies show it can shorten the illness by about one day and may help prevent complications, especially in high-risk patients. However, its effectiveness can vary based on the strain of the virus and individual patient factors. It's important to note that Tamiflu is not a substitute for vaccination or other preventive measures.
