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)

 3  Flu (possible H1N1) Dr. assumes Vomiting, loss of appetite. Energy spurts up and down. Felt terrific after 1st dose. by that night there was vomiting. Has a really bad taste. My daughter literally runs screaming from the medicine. She feels great until the severe stomach cramps start with vomiting to follow. She's only 1.5 says into it. It's prescribed for 5. F 6 1.5 days

 2  Suspected H1N1 -my son tested +ve My wife is having migrane, nausea and skin rash (rash could have started before Tamiflu). But the four of us are showing signs of depression in the evenings. Just like many others who posted on this site. Also why does the coughing not stop? We have been having Tamiflu for the past 4 days now & this is the last dose thankfully. Honestly by the time we took Tamiflu we already had recovered from our fever and only symptom was the recurrent cough and runny nose for my son. Infact after so many days he is still having a runny nose. M 42 4 days

 2  Flu Tight chest, hard to breath, vomiting and upset stomach. Took three doses and it made me feel worse than the flu I had the past three days prior so it wasn't the flu symptoms making me sick. It also made me feel like crying and my stomach had something sitting in it. I stopped and feel a little better. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, I especially wouldn't want a child to go through what I did. F 40 2 days

 2  Influenza A MAJOR headache tingling neck and shoulders added to my flu symptoms I think stopped using after 3doses would only take if no other options F 46 1.5 days

 1  Prevention Taking Tamiflu because I'm 4 mo. pregnant and two of my kids have H1N1. After 1 hour from taking 1 75mg pill, I felt like I was loosing my mind, anxious, cold, trouble breathing, chest pain, itchy, angry, uncontrolable emotions. I took Benadryl and it calmed the itchyness, and helped me sleep. I woke up the next day feeling "hung-over", depressed, and with the same symptoms as the night before, and just as intense. Ended up going to urgent care. Will not take another dose!!! Would not recomend. Especially for a small child who can't communicate. I can't fathom having my kids feel this way. F 34 1 days

 1  Flu/H1N1 Insomnia, nausea, diarrhea, dizziness. Sweating. You'd think that when you have the flu, you'd be sleeping as much as possible. I AM NOT TIRED. I haven't slept because I'm coughing so much and I'm not tired. And I don't want to eat ANYTHING. I was shivering from my fever before, but after taking TAMIFLU, I've been sweating constantly. F 25 2 days

 4  I contracted H1N1 Enhanced color recognition. I am considered color blind. I failed the color recognition tests given by my last two employers. I have difficulty distinguishing primary colors in all but well lit conditions. I find it impossible to distinguish shades of the same color in all light conditions. After taking Tamiflu for 3 days, colors around me are "lit up". Amazing. M 48 3 days

 2  H1N1 Nausea, Vomiting, loss of appetite, lethargy. After confirming it was actually H1N1 I started my daughter on Tamiflu. Before giving her the first dose I read up on the side effects on other web sites. Most had the same information but only this website caught my attention because patients were rating the drug. I decided to go with a couple of doses since some of the patients on this site described little or no side effects. :( Within thirty minutes my daughter was vomiting. She felt nausea for hours afterwards and felt even more fatigued than she had been. This continued for several hours so I decided not go give her the second dose. How this drug ever made it out to the public is difficult to fathom. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DRUG BE GIVEN TO CHILDREN. Too many of them are experiencing ill effects. F 7 1 days

 2  Possible H1N1 infection Had to take Tamifule twice, first time in July 09 when my wife got H1N1. After completing the 5 day course, feld very weak and sick. Took almost a month to recover. Took Tamiflu for second time in September 09, again to possible infection by exposure to H1N1 infected person. Complted the 5 day course, however, having been little breathing difficulties and chest pain. Feels as if some cough is stuck in the chest. Will try to avoid this medicine in my life. M 39 5 days

 2  Suspected Swine Flu Vomitting, headaches, itchy skin, sensitive to light, aching kidneys, diarrhrea..… I wish i'd not taken the stuff, and just seen out the flu. I've never reacted to any medicatio the way I did to Tamiflu. I vomitted within 30mins of taking the 1st tablet & didn't stop. the 2nd day was better, but vomitted again on the 3rd day. By the 4th day the diahoera started. my kidneys always ached after taking it (surely not a good sign!?). I certainly wouldn't recommend it. i'm going to see out my treatment, but would never take it again. F 23 5 days

 3  prophylaxis Extreme sadness and depression. Slight headache. Anyone taking tamiflu should make sure they have someone to observe them. If you are under a Dr.'s care for depressive disorders, you may want to suffer the flu instead. Alcoholics should be wary, especially in early recovery. M 59 1 days

 1  prophylaxis , child was positive rash... small,red,itchy... started on lower extremities and advanced up to knees I am a pharmacist so aware of reports of rash but never had an adverse reaction to any drug previously. Was taking 75mg once daily. Rash started about day 4 so I discontinued. Rash is a small price if drug required to treat severe flu, but I would not take again as a prophylaxis measure.
