A member asked:
I have flu and my prescribed vitamins are not getting me better can i get an antiviral prescribed ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Vitamins never make influenza or other viral infections better. COVID-19 is likely cause, but there are no antiviral drugs for it. If influenza, oseltamivir (Tamiflu) may help. You need to see a doctor or clinic for professional diagnosis. Good luck.
