Tamiflu is Manufactured by Hoffmann-La Roche Limited. This medicine is an antiviral agent used to treat the flu (influenza A and B) in patients who have had symptoms for no more than 2 days. Oseltamivir is also used to prevent the flu (e.g., in household members exposed to a flu sufferer) in the U.S.

 

Why is Tamiflu prescribed?

Tamiflu speeds recovery from the flu. When started during the first 2 days of the illness, it hastens improvement by at least a day. Tamiflu also can prevent the flu if treatment is started within 2 days after exposure to a flu victim. Tamiflu is one of a new class of antiviral drugs called neuraminidase inhibitors.

As the flu virus takes hold in the body, it forms new copies of itself and spreads from cell to cell. Neuraminidase inhibitors fight the virus by preventing the release of new copies from infected cells. The other drug in this class, Relenza, is taken by inhalation. Tamiflu is taken in liquid or capsule form.

Where can I order Tamiflu from? Can I buy Tamiflu at Canadian Prices?

Yes, if you are from the U.S. then you can buy Tamiflu at Canadian prices. Currently we will only accept an order for Tamiflu from U.S. and Canadian residents. Both U.S. and Canadian residents require a prescription to purchase Tamiflu and when you order Tamiflu it will be delivered with express shipping.

Tamiflu can prevent the flu as long as you continue taking this medication, but getting a yearly flu shot is still the best way of avoiding the disease entirely.
