Our kids' pediatricians have always offered tamiflu scripts for our other kids when any of them got the flu.

At the ER now with the flu. This sucks severely and I as well got the flu shot this year.
Haven't had the flu since I was a kid and the first year that I have ever gotten the shot, I get the flu.

Don't give any medicine that is man made. Use natural ingredients. You'll only hurt them in the long run

No, not proven per gold standard of medical evidence.

Thanks for the info. Pediatrician hasn't called back yet. Dumbass at er gave 1 year old (30lb) and 4 year old 4(40 lb) 6 mg/ml suspension. Twice a day for 5 days

Last Friday at 8 was my first dosage. Took last tamiflu last tues. It was like a paranoid pot high without the high.
Definately unusual behavior.

Hope the little ones get better quick 
That's no fun around the holidays, or any time for that matter.

As the Cochrane review says, no proof that it works as a preventative.
And, yes, can have strange side effects, esp in the teen to 20's range.
Of course I'm an ER NP and don't know much, or read much, or hear much, or see much every shift in the ER as some think

Just went through this in our family - child with flu was prescribed 2 x day for 5 days and sibling 1 x day for 10 days. Prescribed by pediatrician who also instructed that if sibling started to run fever to convert him to 2 x day.

Doctor friend told me last night of some recent research that found tamiflu was not effective
Posted on 12/24/14 at 9:13 pm to Volt
When you look into the article, the RD for households with tamiflu is 13% with a NNTB of 7. That's better numbers than with aspirin for coronary event prevention yet we do that routinely (in the right age group, etc).
The biggest disappointment with tamiflu has been that it really doesn't do anything with regard to outcomes of those with the flu such as ICU admissions etc and the decreased symptom length is really meh at best and the pneumonia studies were sketchy as hell but I know you already know that.

I hope you don't come down with the flu

It's an expensive preventative measure. I haven't seen great evidence on its efficacy, but I haven't read too much into it, admittedly. Anecdotally, more of the docs I have worked with don't offer it to the family members as preventative if they're not high risk (elderly, <2, immunocompromised).

It was 100% covered for all of us on my husbands insurance. (Not Obama care haha)

Arsenic is natural. Penicillin and normal saline are not. Two of those three save lives frequently. And it's not the natural product.
Paid for by Big Pharma who conspired with anyone with a medical education to vaccinate and prescribe antibiotics to kids to the point that doctors even vaccinate and medicate their own kids. The stipends for compliance are that fricking good

Ah. In that case, it is probably best thought to fall in the "could help, probably won't hurt" category at this time. I'd probably give/take it if I wasn't paying for it. I also probably wouldn't pay for it.
