Flu Outbreaks And Tamiflu

Some time in the year 2006 when there were widespread cases of bird flu in some parts of the world and also in our country, hubby began to panic when there were news that supply for Tamiflu, the antidote for bird flu was running really low worldwide. He quickly went to the pharmacy and bought several boxes of Tamiflu (Oseltamivir) just in case we needed them. The boxes of Tamiflu are still in our fridge and have not expired yet. Well, we may still need them in view of the recent fears over a flu outbreak in Hong Kong which had left a few children dead.

Flu outbreaks can spread very easily from one person to another and from one country to another.  In Hong Kong, a seven-year old boy who died recently after suffering respiratory problems was tested positive for a flu strain known as Influenza A, a virus which was also found in a 21-month old who died last month in Hong Kong.

There are two known strains of the influenza virus – type A and type B and Tamiflu is proven to be effective against both types.  Before the Tamiflu supply runs low again worldwide, it would be advisable that you stock up a few boxes of them at home.  It is now possible to buy Tamiflu online at doctorchemist.co.uk, a UK based healthcare provider.   Before you purchase Tamiflu online, be sure to get the prescription from a registered doctor first.
