Should I take Tamiflu?
An opportunity was lost during the 2009 swine flu pandemic, when many people were told to stay at home and take Tamiflu.
Nevertheless, the Food and Drug Administration cautioned people not to skip the flu shot deliberately thinking that they could take Tamiflu pills.
We spoke to four doctors in all, each with their own instructions: one said to take Tamiflu as a preventive measure; the next said to wait, warning that many patients react more to Tamiflu than to the flu itself.
"Symptoms may lessen over the course of the treatment, and it may help to take Tamiflu either with or immediately after food, and drinking some of water may also lessen any feeling of nausea".
The chief medical officer for Wales, Tony Jewell, said: "Treatment with Tamiflu is still appropriate for swine flu and people should continue to take Tamiflu when they are prescribed it".
