Antiflu (Oseltamivir) is an antiviral medication primarily used to treat and prevent influenza (flu) infections caused by the influenza A and B viruses.
Antiflu is indicated for the treatment of influenza in patients 2 weeks of age and older who have had symptoms for no more than 2 days[1][2]. It works by inhibiting the neuraminidase enzyme, which is essential for the influenza virus to spread and replicate within the body. By blocking this enzyme, Antiflu helps to reduce the duration and severity of flu symptoms, as well as lower the risk of flu-related complications like pneumonia.
Antiflu can also be used to prevent influenza in patients 1 year of age and older, particularly those at high risk of complications, such as the elderly or those with underlying medical conditions[1][2]. It is important to note that Antiflu is not a substitute for the annual flu vaccine, but it can be a valuable addition to a comprehensive flu prevention strategy.
