Does Tamiflu work to cure or treat the swine flu?

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

Tamiflu is a drug designed to prevent and treat the symptoms of the influenza virus, commonly referred to as the flu. Because of the recent sudden spread of the swine flu, many people have begun buying cheap Tamiflu online as a way of lowering their chances or preventing them from contracting the swine flu. Tamiflu, which is really the brand name version of the generic drug Oseltamivir, is an antiviral drug that is traditionally used in the treatment and prevention of Influenza virus A and Influenza virus B for a maximum of six weeks of treatment.

Tamiflu works best when taken within two days of the first appearance of symptoms because treatment becomes more difficult after the virus has spread to more cells in the body. Tamiflu works by stopping or at least slowing the replication of the virus after it has been contracted, and prevents the virus from infecting cells as a preventative treatment.  For Tamiflu to work most effectively, some doctors have suggested that the drug be taken for longer than the recommended dosage as the virus still may have replicating abilities in some patients after six weeks, which increases the risk of viral resistance and mutation.

Due to the swine flu scare, many online pharmacy have been selling cheap Tamiflu without prescriptions to anyone who wishes to prevent the contraction of swine flu or even treat their current symptoms. Check out the many trusted and safe online pharmacies to buy cheap Tamiflu and fight to prevent the spread of the swine flu.

The H1N1 flu, which is being referred to by most as the swine flu, has infected people from many countries around the world, and health practitioners fear that the swine flu may become an epidemic. Many people who fear contracting the virus are turning to drugs like Tamiflu which help to prevent the spread of the influenza virus, or the flu.

Like other flus and colds, the swine flu can be spread by germs orally, usually through coughing or sneezing, or by touching something infected with the virus and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes. It is important to wash your hands thoroughly many times throughout the day, especially before eating and after being in a public place.

The symptoms of swine flu are very similar to those of a regular cold or less harmful strain of the flu. Swine flu’s mild symptoms include sore throat, headaches, cough, sneezing, runny nose, body aches, chills, upset stomach, vomiting, diarrhea, and fatigue. Once the virus has spread throughout the body, more severe symptoms which will require immediate medical attention include intense vomiting, trouble breathing, grey or blue skin color, severe irritability and very high fever. If you are afraid of contracting the virus, or know someone that has, you may want to consider taking a drug that prevents the flu virus like Tamiflu.

Though Tamiflu is generally only available by prescription, because the swine flu has begun to spread so rapidly, many online pharmacies now offer Tamiflu without a prescription. Check any trusted online pharmacy for Tamiflu at low prices.
