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  Flu 15 yr old daughter vomiting, dry heaves, severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, dizziness PLEASE NO ONE EVER TAKE THIS DRUG! My 15 yr old daughter took all 10 doses of Tamiflu in Jan 2017. She tested negative but had classic symptoms but it was after 48 hrs took 1st dose. On 4th day she was dizzy, vomiting w/ dry heaves for an hour and had diarrhea. She missed a couple doses at nights so she took it a couple days longer than usual. On 6th day she called me from school with dizziness and stomach pain. It was horrible! Went home and pains were severe and she couldn't throw up, so severe I called 911 & went to ER. In the 7 weeks that have passed she has not been back to school! It's like she's been poisoned! Her stomach has hurt everyday and the dizziness would not let up. Her appetite has decreased & she's lost 7 lbs. 2 trips to the ER, an ultrasound of abdomen, a CT scan of same, a HIDA scan of gall bladder, and a scope of her stomach have all shown nothing. She's getting worse. She's had 7 days of severe abdominal pain so intense that I am panicking! No one knows what it is. Am starting her on some digestive supplements. I believe Tamiflu damaged something. I have been researching the ingredients in Tamiflu and what I've found is shocking! The drug is worthless and dangerous. I found a statement on WebMD that says the main ingred. in Tamiflu cannot kill any virus. Please do your own research, if you do you'll never take it again. F 15 7 days

 3  Type A Flu Pains in stomach. Severe insomnia. Extreme anxiety. Sore throat. I was started on the Tamiflu within the 48 hour window. After the first dose, I noticed a mild discomfort in stomach. After the second dose, stomach pain was worse and developed sore throat, but flu symptoms were much alleviated. Took 4 doses over two day period and have not slept since beginning the prescription regimen. I'm hopeful that the flu symptoms will not come back, but I am not taking any more of this medication.

 2  Flu Insomnia, anxiety, dizziness, diarrhea, nausea, heart palpitations. I am pregnant and was diagnosed with the flu but only by my symptoms not a cotton swab. Took it at night next day felt great though it was a miracle as I took it same days I had symptoms but by my third dose I woke up from little amount of sleep I did get feeling so dizzy and heart racing I went back to doctors told not to stop taking but I can't bring myself to take it. I last took my dose yesterday morning and im still feeling dizzy, anxious heart racing with palpitations and of diarrhea..I am higher risk since being pregnant but if this drug is doing this to me what about what it's doing to my baby..I refuse to take something that messes with my head like this..I'd rather deal with the flu :( only 3 doses and I'm done!

 1  Flu Tamiflu caused my son's lips to blister, crack, swell, turn a blueish color, and bleed. Also very concerning, shortly after taking Tamiflu, my son's mental state deteriorated. He was not making sense when speaking. His words were all jumbled. He was acting extremely out of the ordinary. Very worrisome. I would not recommend Tamiflu to anyone. I especially feel that this medicine should NOT be given to children. M 7 2 days

 4  Fever, Sore Throat, Cough, Weak I feel like it has helped as far as the flu symptoms, BUT, by the 2nd or 3rd day of taking it,I started itching really bad with rash and it didn't dawn on me until I had been on it for 3 days that it was actually the Tamiflu that was causing my severe itching. I won't ever take it again! I was starting to think that I might be getting the shingles, and that is a horrible thought!!! F 4 days

 1  Flu My 17 year old started this on a Tuesday wasn't able to sleep at all by Wed day he said he felt off wed night had hallucinations he was hanging with friends all night that weren't there Thursday got worse after I stupidly gave him another dose at 6am thinking to stop it would bring the flu back harder. We ended up in the ER by mid afternoon hallucinations stories that never happened confusion they finally admitted him to the Pysch until to be monitored Friday night and knocked him out in Valium after not sleeping all week(almost 4 days) he woke up Saturday 48 hours after the last dose was given confused as to what had happened and groggy but hallucinations were gone. He was watched all day and part of Sunday and released and has been asymtomatic since! This was by far the scariest thing my family has ever been through. I can't believe it's prescribed to people at all! M 17 1 days

 5  Diagnosed with Flu Insomnia, hallucinations (sounds), and a small skin rash. Lots of negative reviews here. The side effects are not worse than having the actual flu. 24 hours later, I felt 100% better and the only thing left over from the illness was a headache and runny nose. 48 hours later and I'm going back to work. Would take again. M 27 5 days

 1  diagnosed with the flu A few hours after first dose my 4 year old was screaming, waving his hands, eyes wide opened but asleep, afraid of whatever he was "looking" at. His body was shaking--like convulsions. His fever was as high as it was before. Calmed him. He feel back asleep. An hour later the same thing. Fever still high. Called Dr. Was told to stop the Tamiflu and alternate Motrin and Tylenol. Motrin did the trick! This should NOT be given to children. It was the scariest experience of my life...and I am not exaggerating. My husband was with me, a 25 year firefighter/EMT. He was baffled! This should NOT be given to children!! M 4 1 days

 1  Influenza A Took tamiflu after being exposed to influenza A. I had started with a cough. Took first few doses and 5 hours later puked my guts out. I rather have flu then this. My 82 yr old Mother also had to take it as entire family was exposed to the flu. My Mother I gave her meds and poor thing felt sicker and sicker on this damn drug. After her last dose next day was up out of bed. Prior was nauseated. Slept 16-20 hours on tamiflu. Huge racket I paid 25 copay. My brother and his wife both had 143 dollar copay I advice no one to pay 143 for this terrible drug. Taking it is worse then the flu itself. Take Tylenol fluids and rest. F 55 2 days

 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
