I am 30 years old and I was prescribed Tamiflu after being diagnosed with the flu. I felt better within a few hours of taking it. I was amazed. I was really sick and was worried that I may have to be hospitalized. I had been running a high fever and could hardly breathe. The only downside were the side effects. They were pretty bad. It left a terrible taste in my mouth and made everything I ate a...

My daughter was given tamiflu for early treatment of the flu. She took 3 doses and had to hospitalized due to her liver function test being almost triple the normal and she had a very depressed white blood cell count. the leaflet they give in the package does not say anything about these side affects but the Roche laboratories website for tamiflu has them listed adviseing that they did not find these symptoms in their trials but these were given to them by doctors. My daughters doctor and a specialist were called in to figure out what was causing the problem. They had never been told of these affects until i showed them the printout from the website they contacted Roche and i have contacted an attorney. Do not use this product the side affects are much worse than what they tell you and way worse than the flu.Read More Read Less

Even taken with food, Tamiflu made me nauseous to the point of vomitting.
