What flypast? Don't want to miss anything

All Tamiflu is supposed to do is reduce the length of time you have symptoms. So from 6 days to 5 or similar. But do some research on it as it does have side effects, one of which is makinmg the manufacturers rich! Start with a SN 'Search' as I'm sure we did this to death when the *pandemic* struck ....

My advice is don't take it.
I did, it made me throw up about 30 mins after taking it then I felt more like crap as the day went on!

Don't take it
Will only give you one days quicker recovery ... hardly worth it when it's been rushed through with little / no testing

It's only supposed to help if you take it within the first 48 hours of symptoms appearing - does nothing if you take it later than that.

Tamiflu hasn't been rushed through - it's been out for years - it's the vaccine that has been fast tracked.
