There are several viral types and subtypes of influenza and very few medicines can effectively deal with majority of them, if not all of them. Tamiflu (oseltamivir) is one of those medicines that can prevent and treat flu quicker than most other available drugs.

Tamiflu can also be helpful in tackling swine flu pandemics. The sale of this medicine increased drastically after the 2009 outbreak.

As far as effective influenza treatment is concerned, the mantra is to start taking medication as quickly as possible. If your doctor recommends Tamiflu for you, you need to take the first dose within 48 hours. The more you delay, the longer it may take to get relief from influenza symptoms such as chills, fever and fatigue.

For flu treatment, doctors usually prescribe a 75mg Tamiflu tablets for 5 days. And to prevent the symptoms, you may be asked to take a pill everyday for 10 days.

The medicine works by attacking the base of the influenza virus and stopping it from affecting the healthy cells.

If you are infected with H1N1 flu (swine flu), you need to take Tamiflu 48 hours before the symptoms appear. You also have to complete the course of treatment you are prescribed. The medicine is said to be powerful enough to get you out of swine flu danger within 6 weeks.

You can buy tamiflu online and oseltamivir can take care of your flu problems. To buy the medicine online, you need to visit a registered online clinic and consult a doctor there. Give each and every detail of your symptoms and medical history to help the doctor decide whether or not oseltamivir tablets can help you recover soon.

Remember that Tamiflu is not a substitute for annual flu vaccines.
