Tendon rupture on and after flouroquinolone use is now a known thing. If you are prescribed them and you feel tendon tenderness then you are supposed to tell your doctor and they will prescribe something else. It doesn't happen to everyone though and some flouroquinolones are better than others (in terms of less side effects).
Tamiflu seems to work but reduces symptoms by 1-2 days basically. It may also blunt the overall disease impact in your body as well.
There will probably be meta studies on whether fast tracking vs the regular process are equivalent, worse or better than each other.
- kevin_thibedeau 7y agoTamiflu has always been a joke considering the 24h window you have to start using it for such little payoff. It's disturbing how much money is wasted on stockpiling it.
- sjg007 7y agoThe 24 hour window isn't necessarily strict. It just takes longer to work after that.
