A member asked:
Dx w/flu and was prescribed tamiflu early. now, 48 hours later, no flu symptoms. the tamiflu caused bad effects. my doc said to stop mid-dose. safe?

Should be OK.: Truth be told, even when TamiFlu is administered early enough, it only really shortens the duration of your illness by a half a day or so. Stopping it early if you’re feeling better should be fine. Even if you weren’t given TamiFlu, this flu would have resolved on its own and not recurred, so stopping TamiFlu early if you’re not tolerating it should have no ill consequence.
