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.)   FDA Approval Date: 1999-10-27 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 5  Influenza type A About 3 hours after taking first dose I vomited then felt much better. I wasn't nauseous beforehand, but was feverish all day and hadn't eaten much. I took my last pill this morning. When I saw how hard this flu hit my husband a couple weeks prior and how well my 17 yr old daughter responded to Tamiflu a couple days before I set out to get a prescription for myself. F 56 5 days

 5  Diagnosed with the flu Sharp headaches, night sweats , diarrhea, very strange, vivid dreams, difficulty falling asleep I have not had the flu shot in years, and despite working in a preschool setting for over three years I had never gotten it. But all of a sudden I found myself with severe chills, lethargy, a moderate fever, and a productive cough. Within 24 hours of starting my dosage I felt a significant improvement, my fever was gone, and 48 hours later had almost no symptoms left (which at $100 even with insurance it better have!). The side effects were less than ideal but I'd still recommend it, as I was no longer feeling like death. Everyone's bodies react differently to medications. F 31 5 days

 2  I was diagnosed with flu I took tamiflu only two days and had to stop. I would rather fight the flu on my own. I would only recommend tamiflu for a day or two. I kept hearing a low humming noise all night that would not let me sleep. No one else heard it. It was driving me crazy!!! The only way I would take tamiflu again is if I couldn't get out of bed..once on my feet, I would stop taking it. M 38 2 days

 2  flu horrible diarrhea. horrible stomach discomfort. Worried about when the nest "storm" would come next. Also sometimes wooziness. Please be careful and ask your doctor about the side effects before you start taking it. The product does help with the flu but it's not worth the countless hours you'll be spending in the bathroom.

 1  Influenza type A Diagnosed with Type A Flu. Was told to give him 2 doses a day (every 12 hours). First dose was given by DR. In ER. Didn't notice anything out the ordinary. Gave 2nd dose at home. My son was acting funny and scared of me and something around him. I think he was hallucinating because I never saw him scream or react like that. Stopping immediately . Never again. Do not recommend EVER M 2 2 days

 1  Preventive/kids exposed to flu My kids were exposed to the flu and were prescribed liquid Tamiflu as a preventive measure. I was able to reason with my 5 year old to get her to take it but my 2 year old was having none of it. I tasted it myself to see what the issue was. It really is disgusting. For $200 out of pocket I would expect a medicine designed for children to taste a little better. M 40 0 days

 5  Flu Type A Nausea and some GI symptoms Other than that, my fever broke on day two of taking the drug and I feel a million times better. I can def deal with the GI side effects if it helps me kick this horrible flu this quick. Everyone reacts differently but I am SO glad I took it! As my doctor said, if the side effects bother you too much- stop taking it. What a great drug! I'll be able to go back to work on Monday after my flu symptoms beginning on Wednesday. F 30 5 days

 5  Flu frequent bowels but would not call it diarrhea, rash on chest. Also taking theraflu so side effects may be from that as well Had a 103 degree fever at 11:00 AM yesterday, took first dose of Tamiflu at 2:00 PM and have not had a fever since 3:00 PM that day. I have taken 3 doses so far and no longer have body aches or a headache either. I feel much better than I did yesterday morning. F 34 5 days

 5  Sinus Flu Soupy stool, annoying pain in front left upper hip, moderate loss of appetite. Started to become sick on Saturday, by Monday I could barely walk. Took the first does Monday evening, and woke up feeling a lot better. I actually had enough strength to stand up. With subsequent doses, I can tell the symptoms are progressing along: coughing less, sneezing gone, runny nose is drying up, fever is virtually gone. M 55 5 days

 1  Influenza B Extreme nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, discomfort, raised heart-rate. I don't recommend Tamiflu whatsoever. Within an hour of taking the first pill, I experienced vomiting and diarrhea. I made the mistake of not checking reviews for it prior to taking it, and now I'm paying the price. I will never take Tamiflu again. At this point, I can only sit here and wait for it to get out of my system. M 16 1 days

 1  Influenza strain A lack of appetite, gas, headache, extreme insomnia (4 hours sleep in 3 days) I got the $140 prescription on day 2 of my symptoms so I anticipated a quick resolution of my worst symptoms. No such luck. Fever didn't fully break until day 4, and I haven't been able to get a good night of sleep in 3 days. I'm so exhausted I'm dealing with a migraine from it. If you can handle an extra day or 2 of the flu, I advise to stay away from Tamiflu. F 33 5 days
