Im worried about taking Tamiflu... 2009-07-30 20:22:46 Reply

So 2 days ago I started getting flu like symptoms and I rang the pandemic service (I live in the Uk btw) and they told me I would have to collect Tamiflu from my care centre, but I've been reading the side effects of taking Tamiflu which include: Vomiting, Nausea and diarrhea. Should I still take it, I mean if its flu won't it be better if I drank liquads and rested??

Possible side effects does not mean it WILL happen to you, just that it happens to some people. Anyhow, I would take it. It is a commonly prescribed anti-flu drug and if it was so horrible they would not prescribe it.

The question is, do the consequences outweigh the potential benefits?

You should try and read some random drug's side effects... You'll be amazed what they can cause.

Side effects are rare
If it happens to ONE person during a trial, it's slapped into the packaged sheets that come with perscriptions.

Don't worry about it, take it or don't, but don't let side effects weigh into your decision making process.

If your not already suffering from vomiting, nausea and diarrhea, then it's probably not flu so you probably don't need to take it any way,

If you are suffering from these already, whats the worst that can heppen?

Side effects are usually bull shit any way, nytol actually lists "Drowsiness" as a side effect.

Huh? I once took tamiflu, and got none of that. I think they're just listing the remote possibilities.
