Oseltamivir FAQs

What is Oseltamivir?

Oseltamivir is an FDA-approved antiviral medication that treats the flu (when there are no complications) by reducing the amount of flu virus in the body. Healthcare professionals prescribed Oseltamivir to patients 2 weeks and older who have had flu symptoms for less than 48 hours. Oseltamivir is often prescribed to patients who are at high risk of developing complications (pneumonia or respiratory failure). Although Oseltamivir is sometimes prescribed to prevent flu infections, it is not intended to replace yearly flu vaccines. The flu shot is still the best way to prevent the influenza virus.

Oseltamivir reduces the number of flu virus particles in the body by preventing the flu virus from being able to reproduce or to exit a host cell. Because new virus particles cannot leave a host cell, they are unable to reinfect other cells in the body.

Oseltamivir is taken as a tablet or oral solution twice a day for five days for treatment of influenza A and B in patients 1 year and older. Oseltamivir can also be used to prevent the flu. A preventive dose is one capsule daily for 10 days.
