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  Started getting the flu Heavy sweating at night, and some dry mouth. but other than that no side effects. I felt great, so I tried to go to work on the fifth day. I broke out in a horrible sweat! They sent me home from work thinking I was contagious. Other than that, my only complaint. I would recommend it in the early stages of the flu. But only if you can stay home for 5 days, and can sweat it out in the comfort of your own home. F 53 5 days

 2  Influenza Type A Mild Onset Nightmares, low blood sugar upon awakening in night, headache after 6th pill not relieved by ibuprophen, heart palpitations Felt pretty good after 4th pill, but after the 5th and 6th got progressively worse in regards to experiencing side effects although mild flu symptoms have cleared (I had received the shot that missed the one we have for this flu season.

 5  Probable influenza None so far Went to urgent care within 24hr of symptom onset. Flu test was negative, but flu was highly suspected, so was given a prescription for Tamiflu. Thank goodness for insurance because out of pocket cost was only $25. So far, it has been worth it. It is now Day 2 of taking the medicine, and after only 2 doses and a good nights sleep (probably thanks to cough syrup containing codeine!), my temp is down from 102 to 99 and most aches/pains are gone. I think the keys are starting the medicine early in the illness, and taking it with food to avoid intestinal distress. F 39 1 days

 5  Flu None - maybe insomnia, hard to tell if its the medicine, lingering illness, or the fact I slept most of the last 2.5 days lol I work in a hospital. Recognized the flu symptoms Friday night. Went to clinic on Saturday. Started Tamiflu. Had 102-103º all day Saturday into Sunday morning. Has steadily felt better and better. No fever for 24 hours. Planning to work 1/2 day today (Monday). Tamiflu is incredible!!! F 40 3 days

 5  I tested positive for Flu No side effects. Absolute miracle drug. My wife has taken it also. Take it at the onset of symptoms. I had fever and chills for one day. After 3 pills or a day and a half I only have very mild upper respiratory symptoms and very mild body. I'm shocked at all the negative reviews. I experienced no negative side effects. Had I though, I would have taken nausea,vomiting and diarrhea over flu symptoms any day. NV&D are easily treatable with OTC drugs. Hard to believe all the negative science after my families experience with Tamiflu. M 50 2 days

 5  Influenza B My daughter was irritable and slept somewhat restlessly. Cannot say these were effects or simply being sick. Took her to ER at 7 pm because her legs ached so badly and she woke up acting a bit incoherent with 101 fever. Was taking Tamiflu after testing positive for B by 9pm. When you discover what the virus does to you and how an antiviral halts it's progression - it seems logical choice. Would take it again, Always with food. F 8 5 days

 2  Flu The worst diarrhea I have ever had; it was just horrible! Ringing in ears. Loss of appetite. I do not recommend taking Tamiflu unless you have no other option. I do feel like my flu has gone, but the intestinal distress was not worth it. Plus, it's expensive, even with insurance. F 47 1.5 days

 4  flu dizziness and SEVERE diarrhea My flu went away pretty quickly, which is great. I only really noticed the dizziness last night because I was feeling better and moving around. The diarrhea also started last night and by tonight, it's getting ridiculous. If it continues, I'll be calling my doctor tomorrow to see if I can discontinue taking it. Not quite sure if I'd recommend it or not yet. F 30 3 days

 1  Type A flu Gave medication for 2 days, he started feeling better but then several days after I stopped giving it to him he was breaking out into cold sweats said he couldn't see, so I think he was about to faint. Severe leg pain, to the point he could barely walk and now 4 days after medicine has been stopped he is extremely aggitated and seems to be scared of normal things that he shouldn't be. Glad I didn't give him the full script...I hope he is going to recover from this. It is very scary and I don't know what to do for him. Had no idea there were these kind of side effects. Has anyone had a similar experience with their child? Any suggestions? M 9 2 days

 2  Flu Intense abdominal cramping, lack of appetite, diarrhea, painful boating. I was prescribed this even though my flu test came back negative, because my symptoms were so flu-like. After my first dose, started experiencing severe abdominal cramping. Even when taking this pill with food, the stomach pain persisted. I am not on Day 3 and the pains are progressing, along with awful diarrhea every few hours. I am halting the balance of this and refuse to take more- it is literally ripping my stomach apart! Not worth the side effects. Would not take again- wish I knew about this before I started taking it. F 36 3 days

 1  Preventative Was put on Tamiflu through my employer as nursing home that I work at is on restrictions due to high amount of influenza cases. I took only one dose around 6 pm right after supper and within 2 hours had the most severe abdominal cramping ever. I couldn't stand up straight. Nausea was severe. My stomach bloated to the size of a 7 month pregnant woman. I was up constantly all night long with dry heaves and stomach cramps. I went to work the next day feeling absolutely horrible. I felt as if I was getting the flu with headache,shoulder and arm aches, still severe nausea, extreme tiredness, bloating and a dry cough (prior to this I had no signs of illness at all) I had to literally eat yogurt or cottage cheese every 30-45 minutes or the dry heaves would start again. That afternoon I had diarrhea twice and then when I returned home I decided I was not going to take dose #2. These effects lasted through this second night as well with the nausea and stomach cramps. F 39 1 days
