[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2958810, member: 9374"] Tamiflu.... I'm not a big fan. Doesn't treat the symptoms, it has only been shown to reduce the length of the illness by a day or two IF you get it on board withing 24-48 hours of the onset of symptoms, it's expensive as hell (boy are they cleaning up), and it has some pretty nasty side-effects. Seen a lot of folks, particularly kids, who have developed a lot of dyspepsia and vomiting, possibly from the flu, but also possibly from the medicine. And EVERYBODY wants it... even when they are tested, and negative for the flu. They think it's a cure-all - it's not. But hey, as long as they got that gold card that pays for it, they want it. If they are paying out of pocket, most folks tend to decline, in my experience. [/QUOTE]
