Contagious Illnesses
Preventive Medications
At this time it is not recommended that a person with common flu symptoms, who is not at higher risk for complications, be treated with antiviral medications, such as Tamaflu. This is to prevent the virus from becoming resistant to the available medications, and to ensure a good supply for those people at high risk for complications. If you have a condition that puts you at higher risk, or if your symptoms become more sever, you should seek medical care immediately.
