Tamiflu 75 is an original branded medication manufactured by Roche Diagnostics India Pvt Ltd. It contains Oseltamivir Phosphate 75mg, a neuraminidase inhibitor used to treat and prevent influenza (flu) infections caused by Influenza A and B viruses. This antiviral medication reduces the severity and duration of flu symptoms when taken within 48 hours of symptom onset. It is also prescribed as a preventive measure for individuals who have been exposed to the flu virus, particularly those at high risk of complications, such as the elderly, immunocompromised patients, and individuals with chronic respiratory conditions. Tamiflu 75 works by blocking the action of the neuraminidase enzyme, preventing the virus from replicating and spreading in the body. It is commonly used during flu outbreaks, seasonal influenza, and pandemics to control the spread of infection.

Respiratory Diseases Used for the treatment and prevention of influenza (Flu A & B), effectively reducing viral replication and symptom severity. Antiviral Therapy Helps shorten flu duration, alleviate symptoms, and lower the risk of complications in high-risk groups, including the elderly, immunocompromised patients, and individuals with chronic conditions. ✔ Best when taken within 48 hours of flu symptom onset. ✔ Not effective for common colds or non-influenza viral infections.

Tamiflu 75 contains Oseltamivir Phosphate, which inhibits the neuraminidase enzyme of the influenza virus. By doing so, it prevents the virus from escaping infected cells and spreading to new ones. This mechanism of action helps to: - Reduce the severity and duration of flu symptoms. - Prevent the progression of flu-related complications, such as pneumonia and bronchitis. - Lower the transmission rate of influenza within households and communities.

Tamiflu 75 - 10 Capsules is typically taken by adults and children weighing 37.5 kg or more at a dosage of one capsule twice a day for five days. To maximize its effectiveness, it should be taken as soon as possible after symptoms appear. When used for prevention, adults and children weighing 37.5 kg or more (generally 10 years and older) should take one capsule once a day for 7 to 10 days. The preventive effect of Tamiflu begins approximately 4 hours after ingestion, reaching peak blood concentration levels, making it generally effective from the first day of administration. However, the preventive effect lasts only during the period of continuous administration, so it is important to complete the full prescribed duration. Tamiflu is not significantly affected by food intake and can be taken before or after meals. If taken twice a day, ensure at least a 12-hour interval between doses. If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but never take two doses at once to make up for a missed one. There have been reports of abnormal behavior within 24 hours of taking Tamiflu, such as incoherent speech, sudden running, or attempting to jump from heights. These behaviors are observed more often in children and adolescents than in adults, but similar cases have been reported even in influenza patients who did not take Tamiflu, so the causal relationship remains unclear. For this reason, careful monitoring is essential when children take Tamiflu, especially after the first or second dose, within the first 24 hours, and right after waking up. Never leave children or adolescents alone after taking Tamiflu, and ensure safety by securing windows and doors and removing any potential hazards. High fever and dehydration may increase the likelihood of such symptoms, so using mild fever reducers, cooling measures, and frequent hydration can be effective in reducing risks.
