Antiflu 75 mg is a powerful antiviral medication containing Oseltamivir. Doctors widely prescribe it to treat and prevent influenza (flu). Cipla manufactures this medicine. It effectively fights both influenza A and B viruses, including H1N1 (swine flu). The medicine works by blocking the neuraminidase enzyme. This stops the flu virus from spreading inside the body.
For best results, take this capsule within 48 hours of flu symptom onset. Antiflu 75 mg can reduce common symptoms such as high fever, chills, cough, sore throat, fatigue, and body aches. It helps lessen both symptom intensity and duration.
How to Use Antiflu 75 mg Safely and Effectively
Doctors recommend 75 mg twice daily for 5 days to treat flu in adults and children over one year. To prevent flu after exposure, your doctor may prescribe 75 mg once daily for up to 10 days.
Taking Antiflu with food helps reduce side effects like nausea or upset stomach. Always complete the full course, even if you feel better early. This prevents antiviral resistance.
Side Effects and Precautions
Antiflu 75 mg is generally well tolerated. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, and abdominal pain. Rarely, some patients experience allergic reactions, skin rash, or neuropsychiatric symptoms such as confusion or abnormal behavior. Seek medical help immediately if these occur.
Patients with kidney issues should tell their doctor. Dose adjustments might be needed. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should only use this medicine if their healthcare provider approves.
