Buy Tamiflu - no Rx required, free shipping

Tamiflu (oseltamivir) is an antiviral medication used to prevent or combat influenza A virus and influenza B virus -- in other words, the flu.

Available in either capsules or oral suspension, tens of millions of people around the world buy Tamiflu to prevent illness during flu season. It was the most widely distributed flu treatment during the 2008 swine flu outbreak.

Tamiflu and Flu Vaccines:

Tamiflu is not a vaccine. Its mechanism of action is completely different; Tamiflu disrupts an enzyme needed by the virus to spread to other cells. This prevents the virus from establishing in the body if a person comes into contact with it, or stops existing illness from worsening.

Flu vaccines work by introducing the virus into the body so the immune system can "learn" how best to defeat the virus. Tamiflu contains no flu virus, nor any of the other ingredients commonly found in vaccinations.

Tamiflu may cause a vaccine to be less effective, however, as it will interfere with the virus before the immune system has a chance to learn how to combat it. Do not get a flu vaccine within 48 hours of taking Tamiflu.

Patients who have received a flu vaccine in the past 2 weeks should not buy Tamiflu without first discussing risks with a doctor.

Tamiflu Overview:

This medication can be used in two ways:
  • To prevent illness during a flu outbreak or when chances of exposure are high; and
  • To prevent illness from worsening within the first 48 hours of symptoms appearing.
It is not nearly as effective after the first 48 hours of infection. If taken early enough it will prevent symptoms from worsening, but it will not treat existing symptoms; do not buy Tamiflu to treat cough, fever, headache or other symptoms. Other medications may be used with Tamiflu to address symptoms.

Administration:

Dosage, frequency and duration of treatment depends on several factors:
  • To prevent flu, patients of 13 years or older take 75 mg via capsule or 12.5 mL via oral suspension once a day for 10 days.
  • To treat flu, patients of 13 years or older take 75 mg via capsule or 12.5 mL via oral suspension twice a day for 5 days.
  • For children under age 13, the elderly, and patients with major medical conditions, a physician should be consulted for the correct dosage.
  • It's important to complete treatment even if no symptoms appear or if symptoms improve. Stopping treatment early leads to treatment-resistent viruses.
Deciding to buy Tamiflu in capsule or suspension form is largely a matter of personal preference. Children are particularly averse to swallowing pills, but capsules may be opened and mixed in food or fluids.

The medication may be taken with or without food. Taking with a small snack helps prevent nausea in some patients.

Precautions and Warnings:


Individuals with certain pre-existing conditions should not buy Tamiflu without first speaking to a doctor about potential risks:
  • Kidney, heart or lung disease
  • Weakened immune system
  • Any condition that causes swelling of the brain
  • Any other major illness
Likewise anyone allergic to any of the ingredients should not buy Tamiflu. The oral suspension formula contains fructose.

Most side effects are mild and not worrisome unless they persist or are unusually severe:
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Headache
Very rarely children or teenagers using Tamiflu become confused or agitated and may hallucinate. In a few cases this has led to self-injury. Children and teens should be supervised for the duration of treatment.
