Tamiflu (oseltamivir): Your doc may be willing to provide you with tamiflu (oseltamivir).This medication taken once daily has shown some efficiency in preventing or diminishing the intensity of the flu if you are heavily exposed.

Flu prevention: It's unusual to be sick with the flu this time of year. Wonder if it might have been a misdiagnosis. The way i prevent myself from catching it is to rinse my nose with salt water once daily. This has helped me big time to keep flu and colds away.
