| 5 | flu | Slight headache, gassy, loose bowel movements, weird/bad dreams. | Fixed me up in a day - I had only been sick less than 24 hours when I began taking Tamiflu. Stopped flu in its tracks. I've used before and it worked great then too. | F | 55 | 3 days 75 mg 2X day | 12/5/2023 | 5 | Flu | Anything with vinegar in it tastes awful. It has a horrible chemical taste that absolutely makes me want to vomit. | Was very effective in reducing length of illness. Started feeling better within a few hours. | F | 47 | 4 days 75mg 2X day | 12/22/2022 | 5 | Exposure to flu with symptoms start | My symptoms were mild compared to other years where I have had the flu. I took it right at the first sign of symptoms because my husband already had the flu and was very ill. I usually have lingering cough with gross stuff coming up from my lungs for weeks after any cold or flu, but I was over this one in 3 to 4 days and never felt really bad. This was my second experience with the drug and similar to the first. I also took one pill just before getting my flu shot one year and had no symptoms of the flu like I would typically get after the flu shot. I had no adverse reaction to this drug. I would take it again, but everyone is different. | F | 48 | 5 days 75Mg 2X day | 11/10/2020 | 5 | Tested Positive for the flu | Had bad bloating and an upset stomach, and back ache in the upper back | I would certainly recommend taking it felt a little better after 2 doses | F | 67 | 2 days 75 2X day | 9/30/2020 | 5 | Flu | Vomit after first dose, night sweats | I would recommend it | F | 62 | 2 days 75mg | 3/15/2020 | 5 | Sudden Onset of flu | I had no side effects at all. No insomnia, no nausea, nothing. Worked great. | This medication worked very well to subdue my symptoms of Influenza A. I would take it again should the need arise. | F | 63 | 5 days 75 2X day | 2/22/2020 | 5 | Flu type A | I took tamiflu within first 24 hours of a confirmed case of flu type A. I was amazed, the drug basically just stopped the flu dead in its tracks. I think it has given me a bit of insomnia, but I’ll take that over the flu. I didn’t finish full 5 days of meds because the pharmacist said it wasn’t necessary if I was doing well. HOWEVER I tried to give this to my 16 month old in liquid form given to me by her pediatrician and she vomited everytime within seconds. It really upset me. All this food she had eaten came up and I felt like a shit mom even though I was just trying to help her. So while I personally tolerated the medicine well my toddler did not. So it’s not for everyone. I say give it a try, but stop taking it a day after you feel better, it’s not like antibiotics you will not create resistance. | See side effects | F | 37 | 3 days 75mg | 2/12/2020 | 5 | Flu | I had mild diarrhea and nausea. | Tamiflu saved me. I had the flu 25years ago and suffered for 7 days. With tamiflu I felt better 24 hours after taking it | F | 43 | 3 days 75mg | 2/2/2020 | 5 | Flu | Kind of had hot flashes in the night. Loose stool every single day that i've taken it (however only got the loose stool at night) Stomach rumbled a lot while having a bowel moment. This medicine works really well! I felt sooo much better the end of the second day. The only real bad symptom I guess is the loose stool. However I can say for sure that tamiflu did help me clean out my tummy too. Great medicine! | 19 | 7 days 75 2X day | 2/21/2018 | 5 | Flu | I broke open the pill which is ok to do. Instead of the recommended dose which is 75mgs 2x day I took 37.5 every 6 hours. Pour out on counter, half the contents as best as you can using a butter knife. Tear 2 small pieces of tissue. Place halved contents in appropriate tissue and carefully fold and make a little ball. Take every six hours . I did the same with my mom, several years ago, when my dad had the flu. She began coming down with it a day after my dad and I went to take care of them. My mom is very sensitive to most medications. She had zero side effects. I have not had any either. Kicked my flu’s rear end after 3 doses! My dad tolerates medications well and took 75 mgs 2x day. He had the full blown flu! He recovered quickly without secondary infections and zero side effects. They were both age of mid 70’s at the time. I would much rather take this medication than be sick with the flu!! | Highly recommend! If you know you are sensitive to medications read my post! | F | 56 | 0 days | 2/17/2018 | 5 | Exposed to Influenza B from my son | Headache, metal taste in my mouth, anxious, chest pain, pounding heartbeat, sore gums, dry skin, mild stomach pain, slight dizziness | I would take this medicine again if it kept me from getting the flu but, the side effects are horrible if you can last through the treatment. | F | 44 | 5 days 75 mg 2X day | 1/12/2018 | 5 | Flu like | Completely Delusional Hallucination not the same active young boy he was 5 days ago this drig is very dangerous why are they giving this to children | M | 13 | 2 days 30mh | 11/16/2017 | 5 | Flu | Nil so far | I was so unwell with influenza A on verge of hospitalisation for low b/p and dehydration. Took Tamiflu 48 hrs after onset of symptoms and I feel so much better I could cry with relief. I may get side effects down the track but after the effects of the flu I'd try anything! | F | 45 | 2 days 75mg 2X day | 9/12/2017 | 5 | Flu | Cannot sleep if taken in late evening | M | 49 | 6 days 75 | 4/2/2017 | 5 | Positive for both strands of the flu | My daughter is 8 and she was very sick and tested positive for both strands of the flu, luckily we caught it quick and started Tamiflu and 2 days later, she was a new kid. She had absolutely no side effects! Love love love | F | 8 | 3 days | 3/23/2017 | 5 | flu treatment | Very awake trying to sleep the third night. | Began taking Tamiflu less than 12 hours after the symptoms began. I felt horrible the next 24 hours, but was in bed the entire time, I was up and moving by the third day. | F | 19 | 1 days 75mg | 3/18/2017 | 5 | Tested positive for Influenza | Itching; insomnia; bloating | Felt so much better after 4 hours of taking my 1st dose. Barely took my 2nd dose 2 hours ago and I am already feeling like myself again. So far I am very satisfied with the results. I would definately take this medication again. | F | 34 | 1 days 75mg | 3/18/2017 | 5 | Diagnosed with Flu | Insomnia, hallucinations (sounds), and a small skin rash. | Lots of negative reviews here. The side effects are not worse than having the actual flu. 24 hours later, I felt 100% better and the only thing left over from the illness was a headache and runny nose. 48 hours later and I'm going back to work. Would take again. | M | 27 | 5 days | 2/27/2017 | 5 | Diagnosed with flu | geeling better, somewhat gassy | Wonderful. Felt awful fever chills, pain, cough by second dose saw significant improvement, chills and pain gone, cough manageable, by day 3 able to get up and function | 40 | 5 days 75 | 2/20/2017 | 5 | Fever. Severe body aches. Dry cough | 75mg. X 2 a day. Brief severe nausea accompanied by wretched dry heaves approx 12 hours after first dose. May have taken second dose too closely to first. Episode lasted less than 10 minutes. Beginning day 3 with major improvement . | Beginning Day 3. No fever.

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.)
