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  Daughter an I had the flu Ive been shaky and agitated the whole time taking this drug. Ive never felt anxiety like this before. My daughter (3 yrs old) has been very moody on it and it makes her gag to take it. My normally even-tempered husband seems to be having the rare psychotic side effects mentioned as he got mad at almost nothing last night and punched a hole in the wall. We are never taking this drug again. This drug is poison. F 32 3 days

 1  The flu My son had this medicine prescribed from his dr... They told me when I asked about the MANY side effects that they are minimal .. I also asked 4 different pharmacists.. DO NOT GIVE THIS POISON to your kids... He over a week later cannot walk well .. Has major pain at times .. Skin is falling off in different parts of his body, mouth sores .. Ohh and has a heart murmur since... thanks Tamiflu for almost killing my son.. he is one year old and suffering..... The sad part is he can't explain everything!!!! I'm so sick to my stomach over this !!!!!!!!!!!! I came on here to read reviews and had to write, M 1 1 days

 5  Flu None so far. I went to UC with a fever, severe back ache, cough, sore throat, etc, etc. I took it last night and woke up feeling a million times better. Still a little cough/sore throat but none of the other symptoms - just after one dose. My son has influenza B so I was able to get Tamiflu started within an hour of my first symptoms. I am so grateful for Tamiflu. I don't understand these articles saying its a hoax and does not work. Maybe you really have to take it with the onset of symptoms, not so much later. F 46 2 days

 1  FLU I took Tamiflu while I was withdrawing from Paxil. The second day on Tamiflu, I noticed insomnia, headache, teeth chattering and a general spacy feeling in my brain. Over the next few weeks, I have tried to drink beer and coffee, but noticed my system is extremely sensitive to these foods and causes worsening of symptoms. Its been 2 months since I took the last Tamiflu pill and I still have side effects? Are these permanent? Caused by Tamiflu or Paxil related? M 33 2 days

 4  Got the Flu75 Got the shot first at the ER and felt great, started feeling sick again about 10 hours later so took the pill then again 12 hours later. No real appetite, slightly nauseous but I was that way sick before the pill. Woke up this morning and noticed 5 big itchy bumps on injection site (which still hurts like hell btw) and feel a tad itchy in the legs. Since I'm feeling better, I doubt I'll take another. I also do NOT take meds even otc if I can help it. Felt better almost immediately but I also take a lot of probiotics and supplements to boost my immune system. F 35 2 days

 1  Influenza A STAY AWAY FROM TAMIFLU!!! My pedi prescribed my son tamiflu and I'm am livid!! I should have done more research before giving it to him, but about 5 days later he broke out in a crazy allergic rash all over his trunk!! Gave him benedryl and the hives continued for weeks later, and eventually was told to put him on Zyrtec, after being on benedryl for 5 days after the allergic reaction. It's now 3 weeks later and my son still has lingering hives as if he is allergic to something. We are taking him for allergy testing to find out what could be causing these mystery hives but he has never ever been allergic to ANYTHING before this. We have a dog, he eats all types of food and not once in his two years of existence has he ever had a reaction to anything, let alone a crazy reaction days after taking Tamiflu. I have to say that he was also on amoxicillian while taking tamiflu due to a double ear infection, so maybe it was a combination of the two, but he has never reacted to amoxicillian before. - the allergist says he is "dermograhic" which basically is a skin disorder where he hives up from scratching himself or touching his skin!! He has never been like this! Ever!! And I know 2 other people who had similar reactions to tamiflu and some pediatricians won't even prescribe tamiflu to a 2 year old!!! I'm so upset over this!! And have no choice but to blame my idiotic pediatrician!! They really need to ban this drug already!! I only wish we didn't have to find out the hard way M 2 5 days
