Fluvir Capsule is used to treat influenza (flu) in children and adults. It contains oseltamivir, which stops the flu virus from multiplying, helping ease fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, and fatigue. Early use leads to faster recovery.
It is also used for prophylaxis of influenza in patients one year and older. It is not aimed at cases of bacterial infections. Though it is used to treat colds and flu, it is not available as an OTC product; it is a prescription-only medicine.
Inform your doctor about any pre-existing diseases and the medicines you are taking. Your doctor will carefully review and decide regarding the dosage and frequency of use of this medicine.
