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)

 1  Influenza B My daughter had been running a fever with a sore throat and really bad cough for 3 days. Took her to her doctors and found out she had influenza B & prescribed Tamiflu. I had no idea how EXPENSIVE it was, or the side effects. Helped finally break her fever but what she went through was much worse. Didn't help with congestion, just her fever. She said the taste was HORRIBLE.. we tried mixing with with other foods or chasing it with soda, nothing helped. She would either throw up immediately or 1-2 hours later. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND TAMIFLU. F 9 2 days

 4  The flu unknown strain This drug took my flu symptoms away fairly quickly. However the side effects were not fun. First came the headaches then insomnia. I have always had a good 8 solid hour sleep cycle and this drug screwed it up the first 2 nights. I had strange and vivid dreams also, no nightmares. Only on day 3 out of 5 so I hope these side effects do not linger. Well it took my flu symptoms away fairly quickly but not being able to sleep was not fun at all. F 37 3 days

 2  FLU My normally calm children turned into a WILD man after taking the first dose at 10am. He continued to go bonkers all day even with 102 fever. Gave the second dose at 7pm and he woke up laughing uncontrollably (it was a scary laugh). Then went right back to sleep. Third dose at 7am this morning and he is back to bouncing off the walls again. M 3 2 days

 2  Girlfriend was diagnosed with flu Day one she vomited 5 times and had diarrhea. Day two she said she felt "high" or "loopy." Described it as "awake but don't feel like it." We were more consistent with ibuprofen to break the fever and cure the headache. Don't take it. Get proper rest and fluids and use ibuprofen or tylenol to cure the headache and fever. 2 days

 5  Influenza - Type A Loose stool first couple of days, stomach rumbles, mild headache (which could have been from the flu), below normal temperature 97.9 within 48 hours after initially being 101.9 at diagnosis. Doctor said nothing to worry about. Had a flu shot in October 2016 but still got the flu February 2017. Started Tamiflu on day two of symptoms. Within 48 hours I felt significantly better. I believe Tamiflu prevented the flu from getting worse and shortened the duration of illness. I recommend Tamiflu. F 56 5 days

 1  Flu Severe leg pain, like they might explode at any minute type of pain. I searched the manufacturer website to see if leg pain was a side effect but did not see it so I called their hotline and they never heard of that and they took a report. Seems to me they are lying or I'm the only one that called, which I doubt. There are too many reports on the Internet with the same symptoms. Never taking this drug again. Would rather have the flu.

 1  Flu Dizzy, profusely sweating and anxiety. After paying 50.00 for this script with insurance I thought for sure it was going to be a wonderful med! NO WAY would I take this again. The first day I thought it was directly related to the Flu itself. By day 2 on Tamiflu my fever was gone and I felt better. However when I took my morning dose within 15 minutes I was sweating and very dizzy. It certainly is possible that Tamiflu helped my fever break but overall it made me feel worse. Stopped taking it immediately. I'd take the extra few days feeling sick than take this again. Unless you truly need this medication due to age or a previous medical condition that makes having the flu a major risk to your health don't take it. Save your money and your peace of mind. Rest and drink fluids. F 39 2 days

 4  Type C Flu I would say overall this medicine helped very much. Initially I did not have any side effects and felt so much better after the first day of taking this medication. The dizziness and headache are the only side effects I have had but are awful. I would recommend a few bites of anything in your stomach before taking this medication. F 40 5 days

 5  Tested positive for flu type A Slight nausea, but that was due to not eating before taking first dose. Night sweats. I started taking tamiflu the day after I first got symptoms of the flu. I was miserable! Especially being 38 weeks pregnant on top of having the flu. My OB prescribed it for me & after I had my 2nd dose that night & woke up in the morning I felt like a new person. Though I still had some lingering symptoms of the flu, I felt much much better! Just make sure you have something small to eat before you take each dose. I was fine as long as I had something small, even 1 slice of toast before dose. I would definitely recommend tamiflu! F 25 5 days

 5  Influenza Mild stomach gurgling, mild head ache, could sometimes feel my blood pressure in my head if I stood up too fast. Day one of flu was HORRIBLE. Took tamiflu within first 12hrs. Had to make appearance at work next day to finish payroll. Back to work day after. Mornings were rough and/or when it was time to take medicine again; wearing off maybe? Regardless, worked for me tremendously. No bizarre dreams, although I was oddly looking forward to it. No anxiety, etc.. F 34 5 days
