How Does Tamiflu Work?

What is Tamiflu and how does Tamiflu work? Tamiflu prescription medication belongs to a class of medications known as influenza neuraminidase inhibitors. Tamiflu is thought to attack the influenza virus that causes the flu as opposed to just masking symptoms. The main Tamiflu ingredient is oseltamivir, an antiviral medication. Tamiflu medication is indicated for the treatment of influenza in patients 1 year and older who have been symptomatic for no more than 2 days and for prophylaxis of influenza in patients 1 year and older which is slightly different than the indications for Xofluza. The efficacy of Tamiflu prescription capsules in people who begin therapy after 48 hours of symptoms is not known.

Tamiflu - Dosing & Effectiveness

Tamiflu capsules are available in 30mg, 45mg and 75mg doses. Tamiflu capsules are hard gelatin capsules that are light yellow or grey in color. Tamiflu, when used in the treatment of influenza, is often prescribed as a twice daily medication for a period of 5 days but the regimen depends on the judgement of the prescribing medical provider. Patients who are renally impaired may require Tamiflu dosing adjustments. Tamiflu medication is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration and is converted in by esterases in the liver to metabolites.

Tamiflu - Cost & Coupon

Tamiflu's cost is roughly $5 per Tamiflu 75 mg capsule at many pharmacies but the price of Tamiflu will vary from pharmacy to pharmacy. Tamiflu coupons are available at times from the manufacturer or other sources. Some insurance plans may also cover the cost of a Tamiflu prescription when indicated and part of the insurance plan coverage. A generic Tamiflu was approved by the FDA in 2016.
