Hey..tamaflu is not a cure all. My daughter took it last year and it made her deadly ill. Plus, it doesnt work the way people seem to think. It just shortens the illness by a day or two.

Why was she taking Tamiflu? Perhaps she was deadly ill because she was sick with the flu? From what I have read, Tamiflu needs to be started within the first 48 hours from onset of symptoms to be effective. Glad your daughter is ok.

I’ve used tamiflu twice when I was exposed to flu from my children and husband. They all got really sick. By the time I actually got the tamiflu, I was just starting to be symptomatic. My fever didn’t go as high, I wasn’t sick as long, and I didn’t get a bad cough that lasted for weeks. I was probably totally over it in 3 days as compared to 2 weeks for the others.

Exactly. It is not as if you have something that needs an antibiotic that will clear it up right away. It merely ‘lessens’ the disease process BUT it must be taken at first symptoms or is useless. Tamiful is NOT the answer
