Alert: Tamiflu may not work with this year’s flu-bug
According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) in Atlanta, Georgia, one of the main anti-flu medications may not be helpful.
TAMIFLU is a prescription medication that may help fight the severity of the flu if it’s given within 2 days of “catching the flu”.
But……
The latest information from the CDC says that the flu strain this year -H1N1- is resistant to Tamiflu.
In fact, 49 of 50 samples of the H1N1 strain showed risistance to Tamiflu!
So- rather than waste your money, ask your doctor if you have the H1N1 strain before getting a prescription for Tamiflu.
