Tamiflu Online Prescription

Tamiflu - Overview

Tamiflu, the branded version of oseltamivir, is an antiviral medication indicated for the treatment and prevention of influenza A and B in certain patients. Through Push Health, one can request a Tamiflu prescription online and get the medication prescribed to a local pharmacy when appropriate to do so.

What Is Tamiflu Used For?

Tamiflu contains oseltamivir and belongs to a class of medications known as influenza neuraminidase inhibitors. Tamiflu is an antiviral medication that works by limiting the virus's ability to spread between cells. Tamiflu is used to both treat acute uncomplicated influenza when started as soon as possible (ideally within 48 hours) and for prevention in selected people after a close flu exposure. Tamiflu works slightly differently than Xofluza, another medication prescribed for the flu. Tamiflu does not treat COVID-19, the common cold, or bacterial pneumonia.

Tamiflu vs. Xofluza

Feature	Tamiflu (oseltamivir)	Xofluza (baloxavir)
Dosing	Usually twice daily for 5 days (treatment)	Usually one dose
Best started	Within 48 hours of symptoms	Within 48 hours of symptoms
Cost	Generic usually inexpensive	Often higher cash price

A medical provider can help choose the right medication based on age, weight, kidney function, timing, and cost.

Tamiflu - Dosage and Cost

Tamiflu capsules are available in 30mg, 45mg and 75mg. A common adult treatment course is 75 mg twice daily for 5 days. A suspension form of the medication can be used when capsules cannot be swallowed and it can be taken with food if nausea occurs. Dosing adjustments may be used in people with kidney issues.

Tamiflu's cost is roughly $5 per 75 mg capsule. Generic versions of the medication are usually more affordable and insurance and prescription savings cards may further reduce costs.

Tamiflu - Side Effects

Common side effects that occur from Tamiflu use include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, headache, and diarrhea. Increased confusion and abnormal behavior has been reported, particularly in children and adolescents. Seek care immediately if that happens.

People with an allergy to the medication should not use it. It should not be considered a substitute for the influenza vaccination. Because influenza virus patterns change over time, current information needs to be considered when taking the medication. Seek urgent care for shortness of breath, chest pain, severe dehydration, confusion, or high-risk conditions (e.g. pregnancy, immunosuppression, chronic lung or heart disease).
