A member asked:

How long do flu symptoms last after finishing treatment with tamaflu?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Influenza: This varies from person to person. Symptoms are due to the body's reactions to the virus. If the virus is interrupted by tamiflu (oseltamivir) (but unfortunately some flu strains are resistant) it will shorten the duration of symptoms, but to what degree is impossible to say.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
