INTRODUCTION ABOUT ANTIFLU 75MG CAPSULE
ANTIFLU 75MG CAPSULE contains oseltamivir, which belongs to the group of medicines called antivirals. It is used in adults, adolescents, children, and infants (including full-term new-born babies) for the management of flu (influenza) and is also used as management management in a global flu pandemic and when the seasonal flu vaccine may not provide sufficient protection.
ANTIFLU 75MG CAPSULE can be used when you have flu symptoms, and the flu virus is known to be spreading in your community. It can also be used to manage flu in adults, adolescents, children, and infants above 1 year of age, but only if you have been in contact with someone affected by flu.
ANTIFLU 75MG CAPSULE should be taken with caution in patients with long-term respiratory or heart disease or kidney problems. Consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
ANTIFLU 75MG CAPSULE should be used by pregnant and breastfeeding women only if it is considered clearly necessary. Consult your doctor before taking the medicine.
