Oseltamivir - Overview

Oseltamivir, marketed under the brand name Tamiflu, is a medication used in the treatment and prevention of influenza in some people. People who might need oseltamivir can use Push Health to consult a medical provider who can prescribe oseltamivir phosphate medication, including oseltamivir 75 mg capsules, when appropriate to do so.

What Is Oseltamivir?

Oseltamivir, marketed under the name Tamiflu, is a medication sometimes used in the treatment of uncomplicated influenza in some adult patients. Oseltamivir belongs to a class of medications known as influenza neuraminidase inhibitors. Oseltamivir is thought to work by blocking the release of new viral particles by the virus. Oseltamivir prescription medication may achieve this effect by removing portions of a special protein on the human cell known as a glycoprotein. Oseltamivir may also reduce the risk of developing symptoms of influenza by a small amount when used preventatively. Oseltamivir does not have any effect on infections caused by bacteria. Oseltamivir is similar to function as the medication Xofluza.

Oseltamivir - Dose and Cost

Oseltamivir is generally available as oseltamivir 30 mg capsules, oseltamivir 45 mg capsules and oseltamivir 75 mg capsules. Oseltamivir is also available to be made into an oral suspension from oseltamivir powder. If a dose of oseltamivir is missed, a double dose of oseltamivir is generally not taken to make up for the missed dose. Some oseltamivir is bound to proteins in the plasma although it is just a limited amount. The half life of oseltamivir in many people is under three hours. Once in the body, oseltamivir carboxylate is formed from the metabolism of oseltamivir which is the primary form that is excreted. Oseltamivir is relatively affordable, costing approximately $35 for ten oseltamivir 75 mg capsules at many pharmacies in the United States. Some insurance plans may cover the cost of an oseltamivir prescription and oseltamivir coupons may be available online or through the manufacturer.

Can I Buy Oseltamivir Online?

Oseltamivir requires a prescription in the United States before it can be dispensed by a pharmacy. As a result, oseltamivir OTC is not available and one cannot just buy oseltamivir online. People who might need an oseltamivir prescription, however, can use Push Health to connect with a medical provider who might be able to prescribe oseltamivir phosphate 25 mg capsules when appropriate to do so.

Oseltamivir - Side Effects

Before using oseltamivir phosphate medication, it is important to discuss possible side effects with a medical provider and pharmacist. Side effects that can result from oseltamivir use include headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fatigue, mouth sores, rash and pain in the abdomen although it is typically tolerated well. Oseltamivir capsules should be used carefully when prescribed concomitantly with medications that suppress the immune system. Oseltamivir medication can cause mood disorders, including hallucinations, and anyone using the medication should be monitored for those symptoms. Oseltamivir and alcohol should not be used together. People with a known hypersensitivity to oseltamivir prescription medication or ingredients in the formulation should not use the medication.
