What is Tamiflu?

Tamiflu is an antiviral medication prescribed to treat influenza (the flu) in people who have been symptomatic for no more than 48 hours, and to prevent flu in those who have been exposed. It works by blocking a key enzyme the influenza virus uses to spread from cell to cell, containing the infection before it can fully take hold. When taken early, it can shorten the duration of flu symptoms by 1–2 days and reduce the risk of serious complications. It's taken twice daily for 5 days for treatment, or once daily for prevention.

Neuraminidase inhibition

Blocks the neuraminidase enzyme on the surface of influenza A and B viruses, preventing newly formed viral particles from breaking free of infected cells and spreading further.

Time-sensitive effectiveness

Most effective when started within 48 hours of symptom onset—early treatment gives the best chance of shortening illness duration and reducing severity.

Complication prevention

Reduces the risk of flu-related complications like pneumonia and hospitalization, particularly important for high-risk patients including the elderly and immunocompromised.
