Antiviral influenza treatment with TAMIFLU (oseltamivir), amantadine or
rimantidine is best avoided according to a new review in
Medical Journal The Lancet.
The review states that all 4 antivirals not suitable for routine
seasonal influenza control...

side-effects. Zanamivir and oseltamivir should only be used in a
serious epidemic or pandemic, state the authors.
