			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Influenza is caused by airborne viruses via the respiratory system. Influenza or flu can be transmitted from one person to another by coughing and sneezing through his mucus, saliva and other secretions. Influenza viruses cannot enter the body through the skin.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>There are many influenza treatments; <a href="http://www.swinemap.org/tag/influenza-vaccines/"   rel="tag" >influenza vaccines</a> or flu shots, Tamiflu and home remedies. Flu shots contain thimerosal which is a mercury based preservative and over the last twenty years or so, it has been removed from many health care products in order to protect public health. Home remedies are far or less ineffective and hence the only effectual <a href="http://www.swinemap.org/tag/influenza-treatment/"   rel="tag" >influenza treatment</a> we have is Tamiflu.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>The active ingredient in Tamiflu is oseltamivir and it reduces the intensity of all the flu symptoms including fever, chills, body aches, muscle pain, headache and fatigue. Other influenza symptoms that may not be noticed initially are dry cough, runny nose and sore throat.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>You can also buy Tamiflu online , Tamiflu also blocks the action of neuraminidase enzyme in the body. This enzyme supports reproduction and spreading of influenza virus in the body. When you buy Tamiflu online, it inhibits the spread of virus infection and reduces the span of disease. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Tamiflu works against both the type A and type B influenza viruses and provides effective protection against the attack of the flu. If you are diagnosed with flu, your best bet is to buy Tamiflu online. When you buy Tamiflu online, you won’t have to step out in the cold to the doctor and local pharmacy but sit in the warm interiors of your home and get influenza treatment.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>If you want to buy Tamiflu online, make sure you buy genuine Tamiflu marketed by <br />&#13;</p>
<p>Hoffmann-La Roche. </p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Influenza Treatment – Tamiflu in Brief</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>1. Tamiflu is used both in the prevention and cure of influenza from virus A and virus B<br />&#13;</p>
<p>2. It acts as a transition-state analogue inhibitor of influenza neuraminidase, preventing new viruses from budding from contaminated cells<br />&#13;</p>
<p>3. Tamiflu ‘oseltamivir’ is the first oral neuraminidase inhibitor commercially developed for influenza treatment<br />&#13;</p>
<p>4. Tamiflu is an effective influenza treatment but has certain side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain and head ache</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Tamiflu is successful at treating adults and adolescents suffering from flu. When you buy Tamiflu online it protects you from getting flu even if you are exposed to someone who has it and also reduces the chances of getting the disease if there is an outbreak of flu.</p>

<strong>Influenza</strong><br />&#13;</p>
<p>Influenza is the most common of all diseases and its virus  can strike you anytime, anywhere. If buy Tamiflu online you can prevent and  protect yourself from influenza, if not, you might have to take extreme steps  like below:</p>
<p>You can shun human beings and other virus-carrying agents entirely <br />You can shut yourself in a dust resistant house<br />You can carry an air-filter day or night</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Somehow, it seems that you will choose to buy Tamiflu online  and not take such drastic steps. As this steps are not only impractical but  also impossible. <br />&#13;</p>
<p>Nowadays, avian influenza is also posing a big threat and it  is possible to catch the virus not only through birds but also their droppings  covered in ground. Fellow human beings infected with this virus too can transmit  this disease. So you have no protection anywhere unless you buy <a rel="external nofollow" href="http://www.swinemap.org/IMVr/rLfY">Tamiflu online</a>.<br /><strong><a href="http://www.swinemap.org/tag/influenza-symptoms/"   rel="tag" >Influenza Symptoms</a></strong><br />&#13;</p>
<p>Don't mistaken Influenza for common cold. Many people  mistakenly refer to common respiratory diseases and stomach infections as “the  flu.” Symptoms of influenza include fever (usually high), headache, extreme exhaustion,  dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose and muscle aches. Stomach symptoms  such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, are commonly found in children.<br />&#13;</p>
<p>Complications of influenza can also include bacterial  pneumonia, dehydration, and worsening of chronic medical conditions, such as  congestive heart failure, asthma or diabetes. Children may also experience  sinus problems and ear infections.<br /><strong>Order Tamiflu online</strong><br />&#13;</p>
<p>Order Tamiflu and beat the exasperating influenza symptoms.  When you order Tamiflu, it will not only help you to thwart the danger of  influenza and reduce symptoms but also to treat it. <br />&#13;</p>
<p>If you have already acquired influenza, order Tamiflu and  take it twice a day for 5 days; once in the morning and once in the evening. Finish  the entire treatment of 10 doses to avoid repercussions. However, if you are  taking Tamiflu dosage as a precaution, take Tamiflu once a day for at least 7  days or take it exactly as prescribed by a doctor.<br />&#13;</p>
<p>You can order Tamiflu for the treatment of both Influenza virus  A and B. People suffering from both these types of influenza can order Tamiflu.  It acts as a transition-state analogue inhibitor of influenza neuraminidase,  preventing new viruses from budding in contaminated cells.<br />&#13;</p>
<p>Each year, approximately 226,000 US citizens are  hospitalized with complications from influenza and an average of 36,000 people  die from the influenza virus and its complications<br />&#13;</p>
<p>So it is viable to keep influenza at bay and buy Tamiflu  right away!           </p>

<p>Tamiflu is an oral <a href="http://www.swinemap.org/tag/antiviral-drug/"   rel="tag" >antiviral drug</a> that has been approved by the US FDA for the treatment and prevention of the swine <a href="http://www.swinemap.org/tag/flu-virus/"   rel="tag" >flu virus</a>. The new strain of the virus is resistant to most medicines and a probable cure in the form of a vaccine is yet to be developed. People who are hit by the <a href="http://www.swinemap.org/tag/swine-flu-virus/"   rel="tag" >swine flu virus</a> must start taking Tamiflu after consulting with their doctor. Tamiflu is most effective if the treatment begins within 48 hours of developing the symptoms. People who are exposed to the swine flu virus may also take Tamiflu to prevent being affected.</p>
<p>What is swine flu?<br /> Swine flu or swine influenza is a highly contagious respiratory infection caused by the influenza A virus. Though swine flu normally only infects pigs but the 2009 outbreak involves a new H1N1 type A influenza strain. It contains genes from pig, bird and human flu viruses. The swine flu virus originated in Mexico in March 2009 and within a few months it has affected thousands of people in several countries across the world. Because of it being spread worldwide, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the 2009 outbreak of the new H1N1 flu to be a global pandemic. Swine flu strains can spread fast because no one has natural immunity and so it is easy to catch and transmit the disease.</p>
<p>Swine flu symptoms<br /> The symptoms of swine flu are similar to those reported in common flu. The severity of the symptoms depends on an individual’s resistance levels and on the treatment being provided. Some of the commonly reported symptoms of swine flu include -</p>
<p>  Fever above 38ºC (100.4ºF) Cough Sore throat Body aches Chills Headache Fatigue Diarrhoea Nausea Vomiting
<p>Symptoms of swine flu develop within 3 to 5 days after the victim is exposed to the virus. The symptoms continue for about 8 days, starting 1 day before the patient gets sick and continues until the patient has recovered. While some patients suffer mildly and recover within a week, in some patients the symptoms of swine flu may worsen, causing pneumonia and other chronic medical conditions. Thousands of people have died because of the aggravation of swine flu symptoms. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience headaches, fever or cold and if you develop symptoms after coming in contact with a person who has been exposed to the swine flu virus.</p>
<p>How does the swine flu virus spread?<br /> Like common influenza, the swine flu virus may spread from person to person by coughing and sneezing by people who are already infected with the influenza virus. Healthy people may become infected by touching surfaces that are contaminated by the flu viruses and then touching their mouth, eyes or nose.</p>
<p>Swine flu prevention</p>
<p>  Maintain hygiene Wash your hands frequently using soap or alcohol-based gel Cover you face while sneezing or coughing Stay away from crowds if possible. Stay home if you fall sick to avoid infecting others People who have or are suspected of having swine flu should wear a face mask
<p>Swine flu treatment with Tamiflu<br /> Tamiflu oseltamivir is an oral antiviral drug belonging to the class of medicines called neuraminidase inhibitors. The drug is found to be effective against both Influenza A and Influenza B virus. The US FDA has also approved Tamiflu for the prevention and treatment of the swine flu virus.</p>
<p>Influenza virus spreads because of a helper chemical on the surface of the virus called neuraminidase. This chemical enables the virus to spread to adjacent cells once it has entered the body. Tamiflu aims at attacking the virus so that it does not spread inside your body. The active ingredient in Tamiflu called oseltamivir binds to the neuraminidase on the surface of the virus particles and prevents it from working. By blocking the neuraminidase, Tamiflu confines the infection to a smaller area and prevents the virus from spreading inside your body. As a result, the symptoms and duration of swine flu are considerably reduced. Tamiflu works best when the treatment is initiated within 2 days of experiencing flu-like symptoms. Tamiflu oseltamivir has been shown to reduce the duration of the illness by approximately 1 day. Most importantly, the medicine helps to reduce the risk of developing flu-related complications, such as chest infections which may become severe and life threatening.</p>
<p>Tamiflu UK</p>
<p>Tamiflu oseltamivir is available to people in the UK who have been infected with the swine flu virus and to those who have been exposed to the virus. Tamiflu UK should only be used after consulting a doctor and after informing the doctor about your medical conditions, allergies and medicines you may be taking. You may also buy Tamiflu online in the UK from online clinics such as Healthexpress.co.uk. The website facilitates free consultation by a specialist doctor through an online consultation form. If the doctor finds Tamiflu suitable for you after reviewing your medical details, you will be sent a prescription for Tamiflu by email. Following this, your Tamiflu pills packet will reach your given address safely and promptly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>During the winter season, a majority of the people suffer from influenza, which is commonly known as the flu. In the UK, flu is commonly known to afflict people because of the cold climatic conditions. <a href="http://www.meds4all.co.uk/influenza.html" ><a href="http://www.swinemap.org/tag/influenza-treatment/" rel="tag" >Influenza treatment</a></a> is available in the form of various drugs including prescription drugs such as Tamiflu. </p>
<p><strong>About Tamiflu</strong></p>
<p>Tamiflu is an oral prescription drug used for the treatment as well as the prevention of the flu. It's available in capsule form for adults and comes in 75mg strength; for children who are 1 year old or above, Tamiflu comes in a fruit flavoured liquid syrup form. </p>
<p>Tamiflu is manufactured by Roche pharmaceuticals. It's available only on a prescription from a doctor. Tamiflu is also available online and you can buy it from a website of any reliable online source after undergoing a proper online consultation that checks your suitability for Tamiflu. </p>
<p><strong>What's an influenza virus?</strong></p>
<p>An <a rel="external nofollow" href="http://www.swinemap.org/XzZR/zuiO">influenza virus</a> is a contagious virus that can spread from one person to another through the aerial route. It is present in tiny droplets that are spread in the air by an infected person through sneezing or coughing. In some cases, the flu virus can also spread by touching an infected material and then touching your nose or mouth.</p>
<p><strong>Symptoms of flu</strong></p>
<p>The most common symptoms of flu are fever, chills, headache, extreme tiredness, sore throat, dry cough, runny nose, muscle aches, stomach problems, and chest discomfort. These symptoms normally last for a week in case of a typical flu infection.</p>
<p><strong>How to treat the influenza virus?</strong></p>
<p>Tamiflu can be considered for the treatment as well as the prevention of flu, provided it's suitable for you. The dosing schedules of <a rel="external nofollow" href="http://www.swinemap.org/s4u5/MnW7">Tamiflu</a> can be different for flu treatment and <a href="http://www.swinemap.org/tag/flu-prevention/"   rel="tag" >flu prevention</a>. For flu treatment, Tamiflu doses must be taken within 2 days of experiencing the flu symptoms and the dosing schedule is 1 capsule to be taken twice daily for 5 days. The dosing schedule for flu prevention is 1 capsule to be taken daily for about 10 days.</p>
<p> Although a safe and proven drug, Tamiflu isn't completely free from side effects. It can cause some undesirable side effects that are normally mild.</p>
<p><strong>Side effects of Tamiflu</strong></p>
<p>Some common side effects of Tamiflu are moderate nausea, stomach ache and vomiting. These side effects are generally well tolerated. However, in rare cases, risk of side effects such as seizures, confusion, hallucinations, or abnormal behaviors may increase. If you experience any of these side effects, then you should seek immediate medical help.</p>
<p>If you take proper precautions during the treatment with Tamiflu, you can treat the flu infection effectively. Some people may be allergic to some of the ingredients of Tamiflu. Therefore, this drug isn't recommended for everybody. </p>
<p>Tamiflu is also not recommended for pregnant women or nursing mothers. It can cause complications to the unborn child or the nursing infant. People with kidney troubles or any other health issues should also avoid taking this medication. You should take Tamiflu for the flu treatment or prevention only if the doctor has recommended this medication for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>What is influenza and how is it caused?</strong></p>
<p>Influenza, also known as the flu, is a viral infection that primarily affects the respiratory tract. Its symptoms include fever, runny nose, stuffed up nose, fatigue, headache, cough, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea, and achy muscles and joints. Not only is the flu contagious, it could become severe and even prove to be fatal if left untreated.</p>
<p>The flu is largely caused by three types of viruses, that is the influenza virus A, B and C. Type A is responsible for the deadly <a href="http://www.swinemap.org/tag/influenza-pandemics/"   rel="tag" >influenza pandemics</a> while type B causes less significant, more localized outbreaks. Meanwhile, type C is less common and causes only mild symptoms. Capable of passing from person to person by airborne transmission (i.e., sneezing or coughing), the virus is also known to survive on objects for a short period of time. Therefore, influenza can spread through touch too. Moreover, the influenza virus can also spread by inhaling droplets that have been coughed or sneezed out by an infected person or by coming in direct contact with an infected person’s secretions.</p>
<p><strong>Is Tamiflu an effective antiviral drug for Bird Flu?</strong></p>
<p>Tamiflu (Oseltamivir) the drug in use, blocks the influenza virus from spreading between the body cells. As a consequence, this antiviral drug is used in the treatment and prophylaxis of both Influenza virus A and B infections. Oseltamivir, a neuraminidase inhibitor, first and foremost acts as a transition-state analogue inhibitor of influenza neuraminidase, preventing progeny versions from becoming detached from infected cells.</p>
<p>The first orally active neuraminidase inhibitor to be commercially developed, Tamiflu (Oseltamivir), is a prodrug that is hydrolysed hepatically to active metabolites. Developed by US-based Gilead Sciences and currently being marketed by Hoffmann–La Roche (Roche) under the trade name Tamiflu, this drug is generally available by prescription only.</p>
<p><strong>Why Tamiflu?</strong></p>
<p><strong>It is essential to buy Tamiflu because:</strong></p>
<p> It is recommended for use during infections with flu viruses A and B It eases various ailments like weakness, cough, headache, fever, sore throat that accompany the flu affliction It can prevent the onset of flu even when the patient has been exposed to the virus
<p>Oseltamivir, a neuraminidase inhibitor, serves as an aggressive inhibitor for sialic acid that is found on the surface proteins of normal host cells; Tamiflu, in fact, prevents new viral particles from being released by infected cells.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Influenza is one of the more common illnesses affecting a person. There is no specific age group that is prone or not prone to influenza. It affects the young and the old in equal measure. Also, perfectly healthy people can be affected by this virus. Older people are definitely more vulnerable from it and it's advisable that they get immediate medical attention for the same.</p>
<p><strong>Influenza</strong> <a rel="external nofollow" href="http://www.swinemap.org/ne3e/FpF4"></a></p>
<p><a rel="external nofollow" href="http://www.swinemap.org/ne3e/FpF4">Influenza</a>, commonly known as the flu, is a viral infection. Typically, the virus spreads when an infected person sneezes and coughs. The tiny droplets of saliva help carry the virus and spread it in the air, easily infecting other people in the vicinity. The virus affects the nose, bronchi, lungs and throat. The infection is characterized by a sudden onset of fever, sore throat, cough and muscle pain. Some other symptoms of influenza include headache, runny nose, increased sensitivity to light, ocular pain, and a burning sensation in the chest.</p>
<p><strong>The <a href="http://www.swinemap.org/tag/influenza-pandemic/"   rel="tag" >influenza pandemic</a></strong></p>
<p>The most recent occurrence of the influenza pandemic was in the form of swine flu which spread on a worldwide scale. It affected populations across the globe and countries found it tough to restrict its spread due to the unavailability of any vaccine that could help combat the threat. An influenza pandemic differs in scope to the regular seasonal influenza epidemics. Pandemics are irregular and the mortality rates are high. The latest influenza pandemic has resulted in the deaths of thousands of people worldwide. Swine flu became a pandemic because it was caused by a new strain of the influenza virus. People hadn't developed the immunity to this virus strain as they had with the older strains of human influenza.</p>
<p><strong>Influenza - Treatment options</strong></p>
<p>There is a range of treatment options available for influenza. It includes a mixture of medications and therapies. There are two types of treatment option for the virus. The first targets the virus directly, while the second provides relief from the associated symptoms of this condition. In the latter, the body's immune system acts on the virus to help it recover from the infection. The two main antiviral drugs that are used against influenza belong to the family of medications known as neuraminidase inhibitors. Tamiflu, its active ingredient oseltamivir, and Relenza, its active ingredient zanamivir, are the two commonly prescribed medications for influenza.</p>
<p><strong>Tamiflu - One of the first options for <a href="http://www.swinemap.org/tag/influenza-treatment/"   rel="tag" >influenza treatment</a></strong></p>
<p>There are many drugs available for the treatment of influenza, but Tamiflu (<a rel="external nofollow" href="http://www.swinemap.org/a5I6/QHay">Oseltamivir</a>) is the most prescribed option. This is because it not only works against influenza Type A virus, but is also effective against the influenza Type B virus. It was also found to effectively treat the symptoms associated with swine flu. Tamiflu takes the lead over most other medications as it directly fights the virus and not its symptoms. Tamiflu is not an over-the-counter drug and a doctor's prescription is necessary if you want to buy the drug. It's important that you apprise your doctor of your medical history and intake of medications during the consultation. This will make sure that your doctor prescribes Tamiflu keeping your overall health perspective in mind.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Influenza is a viral infection disease that is highly contagious, even a handshake with an infected individual can easily pass on the disease on for example. Masks and vaccines do help to protect you from the disease but cannot do much if you catch the virus. The only thing that remains for the treatment of influenza is medications like Tamiflu. This medicine is used for both prevention and treatment of <strong>influenza</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>What is Influenza?</strong></p>
<p>Influenza is an infectious viral disease. It is transmitted through droplet infection and can spread up to an endemic or epidemic form. It is more commonly seen during winter but may strike at any time. It impinges on people of all ages. The main effects of the <a href="http://www.swinemap.org/tag/influenza-viruses/"   rel="tag" >influenza viruses</a> on the body are seen on the upper respiratory tract, the nose and throat, and sometimes in the lungs and bronchi.</p>
<p>If you catch the influenza virus, the most common symptoms you may notice are chill, fever (102F to 104F), headaches, sleeping problems, weakness and severe muscular pain. Inflammation in the nose and throat spreading down the windpipe to the lungs, resulting in a sore throat, cough, running of the nose and eyes are some of the severe symptoms of influenza. If left untreated, influenza may carry a bigger threat leading to severe health problems. Therefore, it is very important to seek treatment for influenza.</p>
<p><strong>How to treat influenza?</strong></p>
<p>Tamiflu is a World Health Organisation (WHO) recommended drug, also approved by most health authorities across the globe. Tamiflu was recommended during the bird flu and <strong><a rel="external nofollow" href="http://www.swinemap.org/vE06/Oivu">swine flu</a></strong> pandemic and was stocked by many nations creating a shortage of the drug. Tamiflu is found to be effective in treating influenza A and B and also for avian influenza and swine influenza.</p>
<p><strong>Medicines available for the treatment of influenza</strong></p>
<p>Tamiflu belongs to a class of drug known as neuraminidase inhibitor like zanamivir. Both these are effective in treating influenza virus A and B, but the latter is to be inhaled and hence proved to be difficult for people with respiratory problems and also people were not sure about its dosage, as one cannot measure if he or she inhaled the right quantity or not.</p>
<p>Adamantane derivatives like Amantadine and Rimantadine are other possible modes of treatments for influenza but they are only effective for influenza A and do not work for the more complex influenza B.</p>
<p>Flu shots or vaccines are available for the prevention of influenza but they are not always up-to-date and viruses mutate faster than vaccines can be developed. Thus, even if you have had your shots, there might be a new virus looming around and your body would not be ready for the attack from this new virus. <strong><a rel="external nofollow" href="http://www.swinemap.org/3KtV/985d">Tamiflu</a></strong> is the best option left for people who have influenza or been exposed to people who have influenza.</p>
<p>Consult a doctor and find out if Tamiflu is right for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Influenza, commonly known as the "flu" is a serious infection of the respiratory tract caused by the influenza virus. Though, most of the <a href="http://www.swinemap.org/tag/symptoms-of-influenza/"   rel="tag" >symptoms of influenza</a> are similar to that of the common cold, the influenza infection often causes a more severe illness. If not treated in time, the symptoms of influenza may turn serious and may even prove to be fatal. Influenza is a contagious disease that is caused by a virus in your body. The flu virus can spread from an infected person to a healthy person through cough, sneezing or by touching the objects contaminated with tiny droplets from coughing or sneezing. Most <a href="http://www.swinemap.org/tag/influenza-outbreaks/"   rel="tag" >influenza outbreaks</a> happen in late fall and winter; people are easily affected because of weakened immune system during this period. Elderly people who are 65 years and older, young children and people with lung or heart diseases, certain chronic health problems or weakened immune systems are at greater risk of developing complications. If you suspect influenza, you should immediately contact your doctor.</p>
<p><strong>Symptoms of influenza</strong></p>
<p>The symptoms of influenza are similar to that of the common cold. Many times therefore, flu remains undiagnosed for several days. However, flu requires special attention as it may prove to be life threatening if not treated in time. Some of the commonly reported symptoms of influenza include:</p>
<p> Fever of 100°F (37.8°C) to 104°F (40°C) Chills Sore throat Body aches and muscle pain, commonly in the back, arms or legs Severe headache Sneezing  Dry cough  A runny or stuffed nose Weakness Fatigue, a general feeling of sickness (malaise)  Loss of appetite Nausea and vomiting (particularly in children)
<p>The symptoms of influenza can begin within 1 to 4 days (2 days on an average) of being first exposed to the virus. The effects of influenza usually subside after 2 or 3 days however, fever may last up to 5 days while cough may persist for 10 days or longer. A general feeling of weakness may also last for several days or weeks.</p>
<p><strong>Influenza treatment</strong></p>
<p>Home treatments are the best way to <a rel="external nofollow" href="http://www.swinemap.org/XzZR/zuiO">influenza treatment</a>. Some of the most recommended home treatments include :</p>
<p> Take as much rest and sleep as possible. Sleeping and resting helps your body’s natural immune system to fight the influenza virus Take lots of fluids to replace those lost from fever and to keep your body hydrated  Avoid smoking and breathing other people’s smoke as tobacco products affect your body’s ability to recover Do not consume alcohol or alcoholic beverages Keep yourself away from other people as much as possible. This is because influenza is an infectious airborne disease that can be spread through droplets of saliva or sweat Inform you doctor as soon as the symptoms of influenza are noticed Your doctor may suggest the use of antiviral medicines like <a rel="external nofollow" href="http://www.swinemap.org/s4u5/MnW7">Tamiflu</a> (oseltamivir). Tamiflu works effectively against both the influenza A and B viruses. The medicine prevents the spread of the virus and thereby helps to reduce the intensity and duration of <a rel="external nofollow" href="http://www.swinemap.org/XzZR/zuiO">influenza symptoms</a>. For best results, Tamiflu treatment should be started within 2 days of the onset of influenza symptoms. You can also take Tamiflu to prevent influenza from occurring in case you have been exposed to the virus. As Tamiflu is a prescription drug, it should be taken only after consulting a doctor.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>About Tamiflu</strong></p>
<p>Tamiflu is approved for the treatment of the <a href="http://www.swinemap.org/tag/influenza-virus/"   rel="tag" >Influenza virus</a> and also aids from futher spread with in the body, treating flu at its source. Its mechanism of action includes attacking the virus that causes the flu instead of simply masking the symptoms of the flu in adults and children over 1 year of age. It is also indicated as a prophylaxis against the flu.</p>
<p>Tamiflu facts include:</p>
<p> The trade name for Tamiflu is oseltamivir phosphate  Unlike other antiviral flu medications, such as Flumadine and Symmetrel, Tamiflu is effective against both type A and B strains of flu  The drug helps in the reduction of the duration of the flu symptoms by about 1.3 days  This medication is a neuraminidase inhibitor  There is no generic version of Tamiflu available on the market and neither is it available through the NHS.
<p><strong>How does Tamiflu work?</strong></p>
<p><a rel="external nofollow" href="http://www.swinemap.org/Ol2P/rKuL">Tamiflu</a>, an antiviral drug, is used in the treatment and prophylaxis of both Influenza virus A and B. A neuraminidase inhibitor, Tamiflu acts as a transition-state analogue inhibitor of influenza neuraminidase, which helps in the prevention of new viruses emerging from infected cells. Tamiflu is the only neuraminidase inhibitor that has been proven to fight against Bird Flu.</p>
<p>Tamiflu was the first commercially developed, orally active neuraminidase inhibitor. Considered a pro-drug, Tamiflu is hydrolysed hepatically to active metabolite, the free carboxylate of oseltamivir.</p>
<p>Tamiflu is indicated for treatment and prevention in people at least one year of age and above. Reports are that Tamiflu may have an adverse effect on infants under the age of one.</p>
<p><strong>Tamiflu Dosages</strong></p>
<p><a rel="external nofollow" href="http://www.swinemap.org/ZVS9/93us">Tamiflu</a> tablets are available as 75mg capsules and as a 12mg/ml tutti-frutti flavored oral suspension for children who are too young to swallow the pills. Tamiflu can be taken either with or without food. But, there are reduced chances of upset stomach if Tamiflu is taken with a light snack, milk, or a meal. In addition, this drug does not treat other flu-like viral infections, such as the stomach flu, colds, or RSV.</p>
<p>Tamiflu treatment should be started with the first appearance of the flu symptoms or soon after exposure to the flu. If one has the flu then Tamiflu must be taken twice a day for five days. But, if you want to take Tamiflu as a preventive medication against the flu, Tamiflu must be taken once a day for ten days. Tamiflu can be taken for up to six weeks. Do not take two doses at a time to make up for a missed dose.</p>
<p><strong>Tamiflu precautions</strong><br /> Safety and effectiveness of Tamiflu have not been determined in people with chronic heart or lung disease, kidney failure, or in people with other underlying medical conditions. In addition:</p>
<p> Efficacy for Tamiflu has not been established in the treatment of flu-like illnesses caused by any virus other than <a rel="external nofollow" href="http://www.swinemap.org/ne3e/FpF4">influenza</a> A and B (e.g., stomach flu, common cold, or other respiratory illnesses not caused by influenza).  Tamiflu is not known to work in other kinds of infections that appear like influenza or occur along with influenza, and need different types of treatment. Taking Tamiflu should not affect an individual\'s decision to have an annual influenza vaccination.  The safety and efficacy of repeated courses of Tamiflu treatment have not been established.  Tamiflu is not indicated for treatment or prevention of the flu in patients less than 1 year of age.
<p><strong>Tamiflu side effects</strong></p>
<p>Vomiting, abdominal pain, epistaxis (nosebleeds), ear disorders, conjunctivitis (pinkeye) and nausea are the most common side effects of Tamiflu. Tamiflu side effects are mostly mild to moderate and are generally presented within the first two days of taking the medication. Sometimes, taking the medication on a full stomach may prevent these side effects.</p>
<p>Severe rash is another side effect of Tamiflu and the medication must be stopped in case this happens.</p>
<p>With Tamiflu, some people are at an increased risk of seizures, confusion, delirium, hallucinations, abnormal behavior, convulsions, and encephalitis.</p>
<p>In order to prevent side effects, it is also essential to tell your healthcare professional about receiving nasally administered influenza virus vaccine during the past two weeks.</p>
