| 5 | Flu | None. | Fever broke after 2 doses, felt better after 3 doses. Helped reduce symptoms and sick time greatly. | M | 18 | 5 days 75 MG 2X day | 2/18/2011 | 5 | Flu | I have the diarrhea and nausea. The nausea is not bad if I ate with it and started 20-30min after taking first dose. I have had some sleep disturbance but I am sick and drove 1300 miles home from Florida with the flu. My wife has worse problems sleeping than I do and has the same level of nausea. No vomiting. Diarrhea nothing new to me as I have celiac dz and this may account for it but I don't think that is all of it. As far as emotional and hallucinations we have not had any that though both were edgy on ride back from Florida with my parents and 6 year old twins. We all survived (heh heh) | I saw patients with the flu the week before going to Florida on a road trip. I was concerned as the flu shot has not seemed to help with this one. Half way through trip (in Disney World) felt REAL BAD. Had to go to first aid there and slept 2 hours. This is NOT me. I will bulldoze through ANY cold (even pneumonia). I was out of it and it was not a good thing as we had to drive back home in 3 days with my parents, my wife and 2 6yr old boys. Had no choice but start tamiflu. 2 hours after first dose sat up in bed turned on TV (not something tolerated as light even bothered me before that) and then felt alot better and could drink (very concerned about dehydration at the time). That evening took second dose and was up walking and making sense (people in party relieved) and then 2 days later drove (over 2 days) 1300 miles home and feel ready for work tomorrow. Wife and I finished the last dose 1-2 hours ago. | M | 41 | 5 days 75mg 2X day | 2/28/2011 | 5 | Swine Flu | No noticable side affects. | Before taking tamiflu: I had severe chills and pain in all muscles with every move. Aches all over and fever sweats. After tamiflu: Felt better with on 2 days of doses and back to work by 3rd day. Did not notice any side effects that I did not have with the flu before taking perscription. Was glad that I felt alot better with in 48 hours. | M | 52 | 5 days 75MG 2X day | 3/12/2012 | 5 | Influenza A | nausea with first dose | My son who is 11 was diagnosed with the flu yesterday morning after symptoms which started at 6pm the night before. We started him on the Tamiflu by 12:15pm, roughly 18 hours after symptoms had started. The nausea that he experienced with the first dose was probably due to the high fever. Today he has felt like a new kid since he awoke. Still has the congestion, but the fever is controlled with Motrin every 6 hours. No complaints of aches, or pain in legs today. Hope this helps. Tamiflu really works when given early in regards to symptoms | M | 11 | 2 days 75mg 2X day | 3/23/2012 | 5 | Flu | Horrible anxiety , upset stomach , headache, nausea , sleeplessness , gas , worst of all panic attacks | M | 34 | 7 days 1 | 1/16/2013 | 5 | Flu symptoms but tested negative | So far none been almost magical how quickly it worked | M | 43 | 3 days 75 | 3/23/2013 | 5 | Confirmed Flu | A little nausea/dizziness, mostly within an hour or so after taking Tamiflu. On the upside, before starting the medicine, I felt like death. 103 fever, was shivering in an 80 degree room, intense headache that wouldn't go away, weakness, etc. Less than 24 hours after starting Tamiflu, I felt like a new man. Side Effects have been worth it for me. | M | 30 | 3 days | 12/19/2012 | 5 | influenza b | My 8 yr old exp no side effects it was like a magic pill | He was in bed not able to move was given his 1st dose fever was gone and up and out in about 2 hours..2 days later we were able to go on our sched vacation he functioned fine it was like a miracle. | M | 8 | 5 days 75 2X day | 1/26/2013 | 5 | Mild flu though vaccinated | Mild insomnia | Worked like a charm, broke my fever the day after starting. Felt back to normal by the end of day 2. | M | 36 | 5 days 75 2X day | 1/17/2013 | 5 | flu virus | Loose stool. That's all I noticed!have taken once before in 2009 for h1n1 flu virus.. worked wonderfully both times!! Started both times about 48 hrs into being sick. Feel better everyone!:) | M | 40 | 4 days 75 mg | 1/19/2013 | 5 | Diagnosed with the flu | I experienced no side effects from this wonderful medication. It helped me feel much better and get rid of the flu much faster! | Next time I have the flu this will be the first thing I go get. As long as you take with food and do as directed you will have no side effects. | M | 18 | 4 days 75 MG 2X day | 1/24/2013 | 5 | flu w/high fever, aches & throat | for 8 year old son. no side effects at this point. But, my son hates the taste of the liquid. He seems a bit irritable, but I think he is actually just feeling better and is bored. | My son was very sick with almost 105 fever, extreme body and joint pain, sore throat, could not eat from the pain, body chills. The day after he started taking the medicine he woke up like a new boy. His fever was reduced, but lated for 1 more day, but he got out of bed and was looking for something to do. I recommend this medication when needed. | M | 8 | 4 days | 3/30/2006 | 5 | Flu | Itchy scalp, nausea, mild diarrhea. | My husband woke up on Saturday w/102 fever. Went to Dr. Flu was confirmed along with Sinusitis and Bronchitis. Started on Tamiflu and antibiotics. By 36 hrs, felt 90% better with only mild nausea. Today is Tuesday and he's out and about, just a little weak feeling. I am taking it as a preventative and have not gotten the flu yet. | M | 63 | 4 days | 2/26/2008 | 5 | Positive Rapid Flu test | None | I was in bed for 2 days with fever and just wanted to sleep. It felt like I was hit by a truck. After the first dose, I woke up and was able to get out of bed. Right before taking the 2nd dose I was able to eat. I was very impressed. | M | 41 | 5 days | 1/17/2008 | 5 | Flu, Cough | Mild nausea .. almost puked on first dose. Also had mental fog going on. Concentration was difficult but my doctor forwarned me it makes you 'loopy'. | This stuff ROCKS. I was running a 104 Fever ... felt like I was doing to die, was snapping at everyone, etc. I got home and took my first dose along with a dose of Robotussin for my cough. I woke up 3 hours later and my fever dropped from 103.7 to 99.3. It fluctuated a little after that but remained under 100. Body Aches were gone. I was sweating like a mad man but that was probably the fever breaking. | M | 26 | 5 days | 2/26/2007 | 5 | FLU | My son vomited once, after first dose, then all was well. | Both my kids were burning up with fever around 104, after just 2 doses each, they were pretty much back to normal, and my youngest had terrible congestion and cough and that was lessened. I love this medicine! | M | 5 | 3 days | 2/1/2007 | 5 | Onset of influenza | None what so ever... Absolutely fantastic result. One day at deaths door, the next day fully recovered. | M | 47 | 5 days | 4/1/2005 | 5 | Influenza | Absolutely none...MUST be taken on a full stomach! | temp 102 day tamiflu started, 103 at second dose, 100 at third, 97.8 at 4th...back to work, feel tired but good. | M | 38 | 2 days | 1/27/2008 | 5 | influenza | diherria | Got rid of my horrible fever and aches from the worst flu I've had within 24hrs of starting it... was more than worth putting up with the side effects of a few days of diherria. | M | 39 | 5 days | 2/4/2008 | 5 | Flu | None | This worked great! Quite amazing actually. No side effects. | M | 18 | 5 days | 2/14/2008 |
TAMIFLU (OSELTAMIVIR PHOSPHATE): Oseltamivir is used to treat symptoms caused by the flu virus (influenza). It helps make the symptoms (such as stuffy nose, cough, sore throat, fever/chills, aches, tiredness) less severe and shortens the recovery time by 1-2 days. This medication may also be used to prevent the flu if you have been exposed to someone who already has the flu (such as a sick household member) or if there is a flu outbreak in the community. Talk to your doctor for more details. This medication works by stopping the flu virus from growing. It is not a substitute for the flu vaccine. (See also Notes section.)
