How does Tamiflu work?

The influenza virus invades the body's cells, replicating itself as it goes so that new virus cells begin to destroy healthy cells. Once a certain number have been affected, the patient starts to feel the effects of the flu, including cold sores, muscle aches, sudden fever and fatigue.

Tamiflu can inhibit the influenza virus' ability to invade the body's cells by binding to its surface, restricting its ability to destroy healthy cells and replicate itself and eventually enabling the body's immunity to kill it. If left too long before taking the medication, the number of cells the virus has destroyed is too great for Tamiflu to help, so taking it within 48 hours of infection is vital.

How effective is Tamiflu?

Tamiflu is effective at speeding up your recovery from flu by up to 48 hours if taken within 2 days of the virus starting. If you are specifically suffering from influenza, Tamiflu 75mg is proven to lower the risk of developing more serious complications, including pneumonia by over 40% and hospitalisation by over 60%. If you are suffering only from flu-like symptoms, the medication will not be effective as part of your recovery.

Once taken, the drug is detected in your blood within half an hour of an oral dose of the medication, and levels are at peak concentration within 3 to 4 hours, demonstrating how quickly it gets to work to fight the influenza virus.

Alternatives to Tamiflu

Apart from over the counter cold, flu and cough medications, other effective alternatives to Tamiflu include the following: 

  • Relenza.

An antiviral drug available in inhaler form. It contains the active ingredient zanamivir.

How should I take Tamiflu?

Tamiflu is an oral medicine. Swallow the whole capsule with water with or without a meal. If taken after a meal it can reduce the possibility of feeling nauseous or being sick.

Tamiflu works most effectively when its effects remain at a constant level in the body. You should therefore take the medication at evenly spaced intervals for as long as directed by your doctor or pharmacist at Click Pharmacy. Even if you feel better, stopping the prescription early can cause a relapse with either the influenza virus returning or a lack of protection against the flu.

How long can I take Tamiflu for?

For treating flu: It is generally recommended that if you have the flu virus, you must take Tamiflu 75mg capsules twice a day for five days.

For preventing flu: If you are taking it for prevention, then you are likely to be recommended to take it once a day for ten days.

Treatment can be prescribed for anywhere between six and twelve weeks for patients with weakened immunity. In case of a missed dose of the Tamiflu capsule, take one as soon you remember, but don't take it less than two hours before your next one. Do not take a double dose of Tamiflu 75mg capsules to replace the missed one.

Side effects of Tamiflu

There may be some side effects similar to those which occur due to the flu itself, such as dizziness and headaches. Others include:

  • Stomach ache
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhoea
  • Bronchitis
  • Cold sore
  • Muscle pain
  • Runny nose
  • Pain in limbs
  • Sleeping difficulties
  • Sore throat
  • Fever
  • Upper abdominal fullness
  • Cough
  • Upper respiratory tract infections
  • Tiredness
  • Upset stomach.

More serious side effects which require medical help can also occur, and though very rare, they are more common in children. These include:

  • Anaphylactic shock
  • Sudden confusion or feelings of delirium
  • Seizures
  • Seeing things (hallucinations)
  • Change in mood or behaviour and self-harm

You should discontinue the product and seek medical help if any of these severe side effects occur or if you experience side effects that suggest an allergic reaction, such as tongue, lips or throat swelling or hives/rash.

Other warnings to consider

Tamiflu capsules cannot replace the benefits of an early, annual flu vaccine. It can only support the body if taken within 48 hours (2 days) of being infected with the flu. Tamiflu cannot prevent or treat bacterial infections that may develop due to the primary influenza virus. 

There are a number of medications which can interact negatively with Tamiflu. Speak to your doctor about any other medications you currently take before using Tamiflu, including but not limited to:

  • Entecavir
  • Clopidogrel
  • Tafamidis
  • Probenecid
  • Methotrexate
  • Pemetrexed
  • Influenza virus vaccine
  • Warfarin
  • A flu vaccine

What to avoid when taking Tamiflu?

Here are a list of things you should avoid when Tamiflu:

  • You should avoid being on an empty stomach before taking Tamiflu, as it may upset your stomach.
  • Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers must not take this medication before consulting their doctors.
  • People with heart, lung, and liver must also consult their doctors before taking this medication.

Can I stop taking Tamiflu after I feel better?

You should always complete your prescribed course for these capsules, even if you feel better before you complete your course.

Can pregnant women take Tamiflu Tablets?

Studies suggest Tamiflu is safe to use for pregnant and breastfeeding women.

How often should I take these capsules?

In order to effectively treat influenza, it is recommended to take one 75 mg capsule once a day for the duration of 10 days.

Is Tamiflu a substitute for the flu vaccine?

No, Tamiflu is not a substitute for flu vaccine. Tamiflu is an anti viral medicine used for the treatment and prevention of influenza. Your doctor will provide you with the best advice on flu vaccines and their alternatives based on your condition and medical history.
