| 1 | Subjected to the flu | It's done more harm than good for my son. Headaches, Dizzy and severe stomach pain. He is no longer going to be taking it. Has anyone found anything to help with the stomach pains? | M | 10 | 4 days 10 mg | 2/12/2020 | 1 | Flu type.A | Confused, vomiting, diarrhea, blurred vision | I will never give this to anyone in my house, ever! My son has been vomiting and has diarrhea. At one point he said he couldn't see. I had a panic attack basically. After a few minutes I put him in tub and gave him an ice pack. He had a 103 fever. I had heard and read negative things about this drug and I should of followed my instincts | M | 9 | 2 days 2xd | 2/16/2019 | 2 | Was prescribed Tamiflu because my older daughter had been diagnosed with flu B. My twins are high-risk and one was on a ventilator in the past so we started both twins on Tamiflu as prophylaxis. Within 45 minutes she started vomiting and continued for 30 minutes. The rest of the evening she was extremely nauseated and hallucinated, reaching at objects in the air and picking imaginary things off her clothes. Her sister, the other twin was extremely rambunctious and running around like a crazy person but experienced no other side effects. Immediately called the doctor and they advise me to stop the doses and just keep watch over them. Thankfully, it subsided eight hours later but then she ended up coming down with the flu and ended up in the hospital anyway. | F | 3 | 1 days | 2/22/2017 | 1 | Flu | Nausea, vomiting, lightheadedness, dizziness, couldn't sleep | Don't take it. At most will shorten flu by a day, not worth all the discomfort and suffering. | M | 13 | 5 days 75 MG 2X day | 3/22/2016 | 3 | Flu | Severe diarrhea, gas, and abdominal cramps for 3 days. On the last day my daughter's diarrhea was yellow and her cramps were so painful she couldn't sleep at all. I decided to discontinue her medication since I couldn't get a hold of her prediatritian. Only followed 3 days out of the 5 day treatment. | The medication was effective to treat her flu symptoms. After the first dose she was already feeling well. However, the medication's gastrointestinal side effects were far too severe. | F | 13 | 3 days | 3/12/2016 | 1 | Flu | Severe nose bleeding, vomit blood ( not sure whether the blood is only from nose bleeding and swallowed then or there is upper esophagus bleeding. | F | 11 | 1 days 60 mh | 1/19/2016 | 1 | Infant exposed and had symptoms | My 16 month old began crying uncontrollably. For 4 hours, he was screaming, writhing, banging his head, pitching his body back, clawing me. It was horrible. No physical explanation for his behavior clear nose, ears, throat. No vomit or diarrhea. Ended up in the ER to rule out a serious medical problem after my pediatrician heard him over the phone. | M | 1 | 2 days 5ml | 3/13/2015 | 2 | Daugter 6 yo diag influenza A | Nausea and vomitting 1st day, bad dreams, stomach pain. | Fever went down on 2nd day but came back on day 3. Seems like getting over the flu without this drug would be better. It is also very expensive compared to OTC drugs. | F | 6 | 4 days 3 ml 2X day | 2/17/2015 | 1 | flu | Nightmares, vomiting | What a mistake. I had to watch my daughter all night as she was screaming in her sleep. | F | 13 | 1 days 75 | 1/25/2015 | 1 | flu | Behavior confusion ,different speech,hallucinations ,not hunger,vomiting etc. | DO NOT GIVE TAMIFLU TO YOUR CHILDREN, 1 day only ,very upset | M | 12 | 1 days 12mg | 1/22/2015 | 2 | Influenza A and B | Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite | My daughter had the flu A in November. She had to take tamiflu 2 pills at once twice a day. If she didn't eat anything before and tried to eat something after taking the pills, she would throw it up and not be hungry any more. Then on Christmas Eve, she got the flu B and the same side effects happened. She would throw up the pill too so taking it was a waste | F | 11 | 4 days | 12/29/2014 | 1 | Preventative | Nausea, vomiting, fever, chills | I was positive for flu and my daughter was placed on preventative dosage. Flu has been in the house 3-4 days and she was fine. Her immune system was working (we all had the vaccine). She took a dose and got queasy and fever and chills. Next morning, she took a second dose. Threw up and that continued for hours. Doc said to work through it and the symptoms should be gone next day (or go to ER if not). The drug was far worse than the disease, so we stopped it and within 12 hours, she was back to find and has been ever since. AVOID THIS AS A PREVENTATIVE. IT'S A RACKET--4 expensive scripts instead of 1. | F | 11 | 2 days 75 mg 1X day | 12/25/2014 | 1 | Preventative | A couple hours after giving this to my daughter she started having diarrhea and vomiting. She didn't sleep well at all and wasn't even sick before taking it. My 3 year old tested positive for the flu so they started her on it as a preventative. I haven't seen any positive reviews on this in young children and wouldn't recommend it at all! I won't be giving her any more. | F | 1 | 1 days 5ml | 12/23/2014 | 1 | Influenza A | Vomiting, stomach pains, hallucinations (kept pointing and saying "she's trying to bite me"), strange/nonsensical speech | When my daughter took this medicine the side effects were much worse than the side effects of the flu itself. I would not recommend giving this medicine to your child. We stopped giving it to her after her second dose when we realized it was the medicine making her so strange. After three days of having the flu, she was much better and starting to feel more like herself. I think the flu just has to run its course, and I will never again give my child this medicine. | F | 5 | 2 days 7.5ml | 12/10/2014 | 1 | Influenza B | My 11 year old daughter was diagnosed with Influenza B. We started Tamiflu liquid on day three of her symptoms. I was not happy about starting it as I had read of all the side effects, but her fever was really high. The medicine made her want to vomit, but she kept it down. That night she kept springing up, wanting to get out of bed...almost driven like a motor. She would shout out a few things, and then I would settle her back down. The next morning her fever was down to around 100-101 which was great, however, when she tried to get out of bed she cried because of leg soreness in her calves. This lasted all day...she just crawled everywhere. I did not continue the medication. I am hopeful that the leg pain will be gone today when she wakes up. My son, 15, is on a preventative does as he was leaving on a trip the next morning. He has taken two pills of the same does as my daughter and seems to be fine. | From what I read, the liquid seems to have more negative side effects. Maybe that is just a coincidence? | F | 11 | 5 days 6MG 1X day | 3/16/2014 | 1 | Tested positive for FLU | Vomiting, trouble sleeping, hallucinations, confusion, irritability. | M | 5 | 2 days | 4/19/2013 | 1 | Flu Symptoms | Nausea and abnormal psychiatric behavior, irritable, restless and very aggressive. | My son would become nauseated within about an hour of taking Tamiflu, he vomited once after the first and second dose. If he ate something before taking Tamiflu the nausea was lessened. He lost his appetite while on Tamiflu and did not get his full appetite back until at least 36 hours after his last dose. The most troubling side effects were psychiatric, the worst manifested at about 36 hours into his Tamiflu treatment. My son has exhibited very aggressive and combative attitudes to persons around him. He is physically and verbally aggressive to close family members i.e. yelling, biting and hair pulling. He has been off of the medication for over 36 hours and is still exhibiting aggression towards others. I would not recommend Tamiflu. I'm actually disappointed with the manufacturer and the FDA for their lack of judgement about how they prescribe the drug and the lack of communication about the side effects. The question my wife and I have now is how long the side effects will last? We can only hope it subsides very soon. I'll end with a few more notes I've found while researching Tamiflu - "Japan bans Tamiflu for teenagers", "Masato Tashiro, head of flu at Japan's National Institute of Infectious said My personal concern is that Tamiflu might invade the brain through the blood-brain barrier.", "The manufacturer of Tamiflu said experiments in mice showed it depressed brain activity and caused death in animals too young to have a fully-for | M | 8 | 3 days 10ml 2X day | 3/17/2013 | 3 | 5 yr old daughter had type b flu | My daughter received it on day 3 of flu. On day six, which is day three of being on Tamiflu she has and enormous amount of anger. Which is not like her at all. She has the sweetest spirit but this has her almost possessed. Nausea the first dose, but has helped her flu symptoms. I will not be finishing the rest of it. Anger is too far out of control | F | 5 | 3 days 5ml | 2/9/2013 | 1 | My 8 year old son has the flu | My son is having back, stomach pain and vomitting also aggressive behavior and horrible nightmares. | DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION! CHANGES NEED TO BE DONE, TAKE THE MORE NATURAL ROUTE ESPECIALLY FOR YOUR CHILDREN! | M | 8 | 5 days 10ml 2X day | 1/10/2013 | 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 |
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.)
