What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Tamiflu Overview
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. Tamiflu 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. Tamiflu works by stopping the flu virus from growing. It is not a substitute for the flu vaccine. (See also Notes section.)

How to Use Tamiflu
Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start taking this medicine. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist. Take Tamiflu by mouth with or without food. You may take it with food or milk to minimize stomach upset. Take Tamiflu as soon as flu symptoms appear or as soon as possible after you have been exposed to the flu. Oseltamivir works best if you start taking it within 2 days of either of these events. If you have the flu, take oseltamivir as directed by your doctor, usually twice a day for 5 days. To prevent the flu, take oseltamivir as directed by your doctor, usually once a day for at least 10 days. Follow your doctor's instructions for how long to take this medicine. The Dosage of Tamiflu is based on your medical condition, kidney function, and response to treatment. In children the Dosage of Tamiflu is also based on weight. If you cannot swallow the capsules, ask your doctor or pharmacist about the liquid suspension form of oseltamivir. If the liquid is not available and if directed by your doctor or pharmacist, you may open up the capsule and mix the contents with a small amount of sweetened liquid (such as regular/sugar-free chocolate syrup, corn syrup, caramel topping, or light brown sugar dissolved in water). Stir the mixture and take the entire dose. Tamiflu works best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. Therefore, take Tamiflu at evenly spaced intervals at the same time(s) every day. Continue to take it for the full time prescribed. Stopping the medication too early may allow the virus to continue to grow, which may result in a relapse of the infection or failure to protect you from the flu. Tell your doctor if your condition persists or worsens or if new symptoms appear.

What are Tamiflu side effects?

The side effects of Tamiflu may vary in number and intensity for many different reasons. Factors such as age, weight, gender and ethnicity may influence the side effects of Tamiflu.
