Antiflu 75 mg Capsule

Antiflu 75 mg Capsule is a prescription antiviral medicine that contains 75 mg of oseltamivir in each capsule. It belongs to the neuraminidase inhibitor class and is used to treat influenza (the flu) and, in some cases, to help prevent it after exposure. Antiflu 75 mg Capsule works best when started as soon as possible after flu symptoms begin or after a known exposure.

How it works: Oseltamivir blocks a flu virus enzyme called neuraminidase, which the virus needs to spread from infected cells to new ones. In capsule form, Antiflu 75 mg Capsule delivers this medicine by mouth so it can help limit the flu virus in the body.

The Antiflu 75 mg Capsule is a full-strength capsule commonly used in standard adult and adolescent dosing, so it is not a starter strength for everyone. A doctor may choose this strength when the patient can swallow capsules and needs the usual oseltamivir dose rather than a lower-strength option.

• Treatment of influenza A and B
• Flu prevention after close exposure
• Seasonal flu post-exposure prophylaxis
• Doctor-directed antiviral therapy

• Swallow the Antiflu 75 mg Capsule whole with water; do not crush, chew, or open it.
• It can be taken with or without food, but taking it with food may help reduce nausea.
• Take it at the same times each day if your doctor prescribes more than one dose.
• Start treatment as soon as possible after flu symptoms begin, ideally within 48 hours, unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Use the exact schedule your doctor prescribes for this 75 mg capsule; it is not meant to be adjusted on your own.

Each Antiflu 75 mg Capsule provides 75 mg of oseltamivir. For flu treatment, adults and adolescents commonly take 75 mg twice daily for 5 days, while prevention may be a different schedule; the exact dose and duration depend on the reason for use, age, kidney function, and your doctor’s instructions.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

Common side effects of Oseltamivir may include:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Headache
• Stomach pain
• Dizziness
• Diarrhea

• Use caution if you have kidney disease, since the dose may need adjustment even with the 75 mg capsule.
• Tell your doctor if you have a history of severe allergy to oseltamivir or any capsule ingredients.
• This medicine may cause nausea or vomiting, especially early in treatment; taking it with food may help.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask your doctor before using Antiflu 75 mg Capsule.
• Do not use this antiviral to replace the annual flu vaccine; it does not prevent all flu illnesses.
• Seek medical advice promptly if flu symptoms worsen or do not improve as expected.
• Use extra caution when driving or doing tasks that need alertness if you feel dizzy or unwell after taking it.

• Probenecid
• Live attenuated influenza vaccine given through the nose
