Hello Everybody,
My father in law is suffering from avian bird flu. Doctor has prescribed Tamiflu to him. I have forgotten to ask doctor regarding his dosage and intake guideline. Could anyone tell me what is the appropriate amount of dose for him. Kindly also provide me intake guideline. I will appreciate any information regarding this.

How can you forgotten to ask such an important question. Dose of any drug depend not only on the age of patient but also on his/her physical and mental aspect. A Doctor can provide you the exact dosage so I will suggest you to consult your physician once again. In general Tamiflu should be taken twice daily (once in the morning and once in the evening) for five days. Tamiflu should not be taken empty stomach as there is a chance of stomach upset. One must complete the entire treatment of ten capsules, even if he or she is feeling better. Ask the Doctor before stop taking Tamiflu. Tamiflu is available in form of capsule containing 75mg of active ingredient. It is also available in a convenient oral suspension (liquid) that's easy for children to swallow. I have visited a site having URL *link removed* while surfing the net having awesome information on Tamiflu. You may visit this site or search Google and other search engine for further information.
I am not agreed with panthero that one suffering from bird flu should be isolated from rest of population as it is transmitted from bird to bird, bird to human. transmission of flu virus from human to human has been not notice till yet.
