"FDA approved Tamiflu (oseltamivir phosphate), an oral anti-viral drug for the treatment of uncomplicated influenza in patients one year and older whose flu symptoms have not lasted more than two days. This product is approved to treat Type A and B influenza; however, the majority of patients included in the studies were infected with type A, the most common in the U.S. Efficacy of Tamiflu in the treatment of influenza in subjects with chronic cardiac disease and/or respiratory disease has not been established."
"Your chances of avoiding the flu are better when you:
Keep your distance from people with the flu. Wash your hands frequently. Avoid second-hand cigarette smoke. Try to quit smoking. Maintain a healthy lifestyle, including a good diet, adequate sleep, low stress and lots of water to drink."
