Flu symptoms such as fever, cough and sneezing must not be left without treatment. The proper time to begin it is the first two days of illness. TAMIFLU is the most effective medicine which helps to treat flu easily.
- For cure: Taking TAMIFLU taken within first two days of illness helps to prevent spreading of the virus and some serious complications
- For prevention: After being in the contact with someone who has flu symptoms it’s better to take TAMIFLU in as this drug helps to inactivate the virus in your body
However TAMIFLU is not the same as a flu vaccine. Vaccination is regarded as a first and the most important step of flu prevention. TAMIFLU provides additional protective effect.
The effectiveness of flu vaccines is rather high. But the virus strains vary from time to time and from region to region. During outbreak of one type of disease the vaccines against the other flu strains are useless and even harmful. As to TAMIFLU, it may prevent any kind of flu.
In any case flu vaccines only prevent the disease. TAMIFLU as any other antiviral drug not only prevents flu but also treats it and helps to ease symptoms of flu.
