Product Introduction:
Antiflu Oral Suspension contains Oseltamivir Phosphate, an antiviral medication utilized primarily for treating influenza, commonly known as the flu. This oral suspension formulation offers a convenient option for patients who may have difficulty swallowing capsules or tablets.
Antiflu Oral Suspension prevents the flu virus from spreading inside the body. Influenza, commonly known as flu is an infection caused by a virus. This medicine should be taken only when prescribed by a doctor. It should be used in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, although taking it with food can reduce the chance of feeling or being sick (nausea or vomiting).
Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Stopping the medication too early may result in a relapse of the infection or failure to protect you from the flu.
Some common side effects include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and diarrhea. These side effects mostly occur after the first dose of the medicine and will usually stop as treatment continues. Please consult your doctor if these side effects persist for a longer duration.
