Oseltamivir is an antiviral medication commonly used to treat and prevent influenza A and B. It works by inhibiting the enzyme neuraminidase, which is essential for the flu virus to spread within the body. By blocking this enzyme, oseltamivir reduces the severity and duration of flu symptoms, such as fever, cough, and body aches, if taken within the first 48 hours of symptom onset. It is available in capsule form and as a liquid suspension, typically prescribed for a five-day course. Oseltamivir is most effective when administered early in the course of infection.

Advantages of Oseltamivir:

  1. Treatment of Influenza:
    • Reduces the severity and duration of flu symptoms when taken within 48 hours of symptom onset.
    • Helps shorten recovery time, typically by 1-2 days.
  2. Prevention of Influenza:
    • Effective in preventing flu in people exposed to the virus (e.g., during flu outbreaks or within households).
    • Used as a prophylactic measure in people who are at high risk of complications from the flu.
  3. Reduces Complications:
    • Can lower the risk of serious flu-related complications like pneumonia, bronchitis, sinus infections, and hospitalizations, particularly in high-risk groups (elderly, pregnant women, immunocompromised individuals).
  4. Works Against Multiple Flu Strains:
    • Effective against both influenza A and B viruses.

Works Against Multiple Flu Strains:

  • Effective against both influenza A and B viruses.
  • Dosage of Oseltamivir:

    • Adults (Treatment):
      • 75 mg twice daily for 5 days.
    • Adults (Prevention):
      • 75 mg once daily for at least 10 days, and up to 6 weeks during a community outbreak.
    • Children (Treatment and Prevention):
      • Dosing depends on body weight. Commonly:
        • Children over 40 kg: 75 mg twice daily (same as adults).
        • Children under 40 kg: Lower doses based on weight (refer to pediatric guidelines).
    • Timing:
      • For best efficacy, start within 48 hours of flu symptom onset or exposure to flu.

  2. Renal Adjustments:
    • As mentioned, patients with kidney problems may require a lower dose.
  3. Not a Substitute for the Flu Vaccine:
    • While oseltamivir helps treat and prevent flu, it is not a replacement for getting an annual flu vaccine.
  4. Drug Resistance:
    • Though uncommon, some strains of influenza can develop resistance to oseltamivir, which may reduce its effectiveness.
