Why doesn’t Tamiflu work?
Posted by drtim on January 9, 2009
Just out. America’s favorite antiviral drug, Tamiflu apparently doesn’t work. A new article in the International Tribune, says that Tamiflu only helps improve flu symptoms 1% of the time. Excuse me. But DUH!
Apparently, we’re starting to realize that the flu virus changes (mutates) faster than drug manufacturers can make new drugs OR even anticipate which strain to attack. When will we EVER learn that it’s easier to work WITH Mother Nature than against her?
Here’s a link to the article. I’d love to hear what you think.

I am in the throes of a bad swab-diagnosed Swine Flu involvement. I can attest to the fact that Tamiflu has helped me considerably. I had an unusually high fever – started tamiflu within 36 hours and it broke 24 hours later. It does help. I would recommend it!
