Oseltamivir 75mg capsules

Description

Oseltamivir is an antiviral medicine used to treat or prevent influenza (flu).

• to treat flu, it can be used in adults and children (including full-term newborns) who have the symptoms of flu, when the flu virus is circulating in the community;
• to prevent flu, it can be used in adults and children over 1 year of age who have been in contact with someone who has flu and flu is circulating in the community. This is generally done on a case-by-case basis. Oseltamivir can also be used as preventative treatment in exceptional cases, for instance when the seasonal flu vaccine may not provide sufficient protection and when there is a pandemic (a global epidemic of flu). During a flu pandemic, Oseltamivir can also be used to prevent flu in babies below 1 year of age.

The medicine contains the active substance oseltamivir.

Each box contains 10 hard gelatin capsules.
