Tamiflu 75mg Tablet

Tamiflu 75mg Tablet is a tablet made by Roche Pakistan Limited that contains Oseltamivir 75mg, a neuraminidase inhibitor antiviral. It is used for influenza (flu) and flu prevention after exposure. Pack size: 10 tablets.

Uses of Tamiflu 75mg Tablet

Tamiflu 75mg Tablet is used to treat flu caused by influenza A and B viruses in adults and children, and can shorten the illness and reduce complications. It is also used to prevent flu in people who have been in close contact with someone who has it, particularly those at higher risk. It does not work against colds or other viral infections and is not a substitute for the flu vaccine.

How Tamiflu 75mg Tablet works

Oseltamivir blocks neuraminidase, an enzyme on the surface of the flu virus that it needs to break free from infected cells. This stops the virus spreading to new cells in the airways, giving the immune system time to clear the infection.

Possible side effects

The most common side effects of Tamiflu 75mg Tablet affect the stomach and include:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Stomach pain
• Headache
• Diarrhoea

Contact a doctor urgently if anyone taking it, especially a child or teenager, shows confusion, unusual behaviour or hallucinations, or if a severe skin rash or swelling of the face develops.

Precautions and warnings

• It works best when started as soon as possible after flu symptoms begin, ideally within two days.
• Taking it with food may reduce nausea.
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, as the dose may need changing.
• It can be used in pregnancy and breastfeeding when a doctor decides the benefits outweigh the risks.
• Keep having your yearly flu vaccine; let the doctor know if you have had or plan to have a nasal flu vaccine.
