Check here for Ask a Patient's Adverse Event Summary for TAMIFLU based on cases submitted to the FDA. Includes top reasons for taking, adverse events, and major outcomes reported.

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)
