It made my flu experience much better. Relieved my symptoms the second day. I also have other complications from COPD. So I also took steroids, now they make me feel bad. OSELTAMIVIR 75mg cap ALV helped my flu symptoms greatly.

Terrible skin rash and agitation. Hallucinations and night mares. Very expensive and not worth it.

I was diagnosed with H1N1 Flu and doctor advised ostelmavir 75mg. First dose i took in the evening and 2nd and third day twice. My fever was gone and i felt better but had worst of the side effects. For two days and two nights i couldn't get even a minute of sleep, was getting hot flashes, increased heart rate, hallucination and i was feeling schizophrenic. I was not taking any other medication at that time and felt horrible and was not able to figure out as to what has happened yo me. I felt i have become crazy, suddenly i realised i should check the side effect of the Ostelmavir i was taking, to my horror i found the mention of these side effects. It is then i calmed my nerved and decided that i will discontinue its use. When i asked the doctor about its side effects he said dont worry please continue its use for five days. Such costly medicine with such life threatening experience. I even chanted Hanuman Chalisa and Bajrang Baan to overcome hallucinations, till i realised the culprit was the drug i was using. Having experienced the worst side effects all i would say that it is worth suffering with symptoms of flu for two three more days then taking this drug Read More Read Less

Went to the dr. on Christmas Eve with a fever of 102 and feeling the worst. Came back postive for Flu B and was given Oseltamivir 75mg 2x/day. I took one that evening and by felt some relief Christmas morning. The day after Christmas my congestion had cleared up, no headache or body aches, had been fever free for 24 hours and the only thing lingering was a cough. Its now day three and I feel like my regular self. I have promethazine to help with the cough and I'm back to work(from home). Glad I got the meds in time. Christmas was a little rough but I'm good to go for New Years =]Read More Read Less

This medicine worked very well and fast for me. My flu symptoms were gone by day two of being diagnosed and starting the medication. My only issue is that I'm left with a cough. Hopefully, I won't need it again, but I would take it again with the flu.

I woke up Thursday morning with full major flu symptoms, the worst being body aches, joint aches, fever and sleepiness. Went to urgent care, confirmed Type A influenza, and took my first dose at 7pm. Woke up at 5am 90% better. I’m extremely grateful as I was expecting a lost week at Christmas.Playing it safe in case I’m still infectious. I feel 99% better. Mild cold symptoms.

My daughters and I went to the dr the day flu symptoms appeared and was prescribed oseltamivir (Tamiflu); my husband waited to go the the dr. The girls and I felt nearly 100% after 24 hours of taking it, in comparison to my husband who was very ill nearly a week. I kinda felt guilty because we recovered so quickly and he was bed-ridden for so long. My advice would be to go to the dr immediately at the onset of symptoms if you've been exposed. It was definitely worth it!

I went to the doctor because I was coughing, sneezing, stuffed sinuses and ears, had aches in my joints and muscles, fever, cold sweats, all the makings of a really good time, lol. They tested me for flu but it came back invalid... Whatever that means. They gave me prednisone and oseltamivir. After two and a half days of full doses: my ears and sinuses are still plugged. My head still hurts, and my ears are ringing. I'm still coughing, nose is still running, so I'm not sure what the drug has done. My fever has gone away, and no more cold sweats. But that's about it. It's been at least five days of these symptoms. I'm not impressed. Guzzling orange juice and home made chicken n rice soup is my go to, so I'm going to do that instead. It's been proven in my house by family members not getting sick or having 1-2 days at the most of sickness instead of this mess. I've never been this sick in my life!Read More Read Less

I am currently taking Oseltamivir and it has helped to relieve my symptoms tremendously. I have not experienced one head ache before or after taking this medication. I only have experienced fever and coughing with phlegm throughout this flu.

I had all the symptoms of the flu but the doctor said I tested negative. Prescribed me Tamiflu (Oseltamivir cap 75 Mg for 10 days, 1 tablet a day), also had me taking Mucinex which and can definitely vouch for get stuff, as well as Brom/PSe/ DM syrup for cough worked, and Ibuprofen for body aches etc. Because I was taking all of this at once canâ??t really say Tamiful worked.

I cant speak to the effectiveness of this drug since I will be discontinuing its use. It gave me an awful headache both times I took it and caused me to vomit excessively after about an hour or two.

This was prescribed for my daughter after an influenza A rapid test read positive. Since she is not yet able to swallow pills due to age, they produced a suspension. I was skeptical about Tamiflu in the first place - usually when studies are at odds or have shown placebo to be more effective, I generally assume treatment is not the real goal (it's money & if you pay for it, you'll agree). But, it's a elevated year for flu, so I thought it might be of some benefit. It may have helped reduce the flu for my daughter, but considering what is entailed in giving a child this medicine, any real overall benefit was outstripped after the first two doses. Namely, Tamiflu is tastes horrendous - I promised my daughter I would taste it before she had to - I was able to maintain a straight face in front of her, but I instantly knew it was going to be hell getting doses down. Sure enough, even after doctoring the flavor, my daughter refused it, or avoided me, cried after taking it - I finally paired it with pure chocolate syrup and salt. It deadened the flavor...problem was, she and I were awake to nearly midnight with her being so wired. After 3 days of dosing 2x/day, I decides it wasn't worth it. My daughter got over the flu in a reasonable and standard amount of time. She had a third of the dosing prescribed, so it's possible it shaved off a half-hour or so of 'flu symptoms,' which it itself produces. They get to say a half day to one day relief from the normal course of the flu, but reflecting on that statement, it's utterly hollow. It is invalid and unsound science - but the government/CDC love it because it gives doctors a lightning rod away from defaulting to antibiotics. You'd think competency with R&D, clinicians, pharmacists, etc., would win the day - instead, the sale of counterfeit & subversive & ethically questionable 'medicine' route was selected. Apparently these health agencies set a low bar for the intelligence of those they effect. Tamiflu is bogus.Read More Read Less

Diagnosed with Influenza B. Fever, body aches all over, horribly sore throat, sinus pressure / headaches, ear pressure / popping/ ringing, coughing so hard I injured my back when stomach muscles were sore/weak. Today is day 2 of meds. Still have ALL symptoms , but ALL have lessened about 25-30%. Having stomach issues after each dose- but nothing painful. The med has helped Just enough to remain sane. I’ve never felt so sick.
