“Doc! Please treat MY VIRAL flu NOW!”
You must take medication for Influenza within 48 hours after the symptoms of flu appear.
These medicines can reduce the length of time that a fever and other symptoms last.
Now = Within 48 hours
MY VIRAL = mi vir = “-MIVIR”
Influenza A & B:
Treatment: zanaMIVIR, oseltaMIVIR
(neuroaminidase inhibitors)
Influenza A
“I caught the flu Dining on chicken”
Treatment: amantaDINE, rimantaDINE
Avian influenza virus usually refers to influenza A viruses found chiefly in birds, but infections can occur in humans.
