Swine flu(H1N1) is a viral disease caused by a new type of influenza virus (Novel H1N1) that has never circulated before in humans. The virus was initially called swine flu virus because it is genetically very similar to viruses that normally cause flu in swine (animals such pigs, boars, hogs). The symptoms of swine flu are similar to the symptoms of seasonal flu. The severity of illness ranges from very mild symptoms to severe illnesses that can result in death.

All about Swine Flu (Novel H1N1)
Seasonal flu occurs every year but many people have some immunity against it which protects them from getting sick. The swine flu virus on the other hand is an entirely new agent against which most of us have little or no immunity. As a result, this virus can spread very fast and affect a much larger number of people than seasonal flu. As of now a vaccine against swine flu is not available. However, you can protect yourself from getting infected by taking some simple precautions.
Antiviral Drugs for Swine Flu (H1N1)
So far tests show that swine flu is responding to oseltamivir and zanamivir. Antiviral medicines reduce the severity of swine flu and also speed up recovery from symptoms. They can also prevent complications of swine flu. These drugs are most effective when started within two days of onset of symptoms. Antiviral drugs are medicines that act against viruses. They are prescription medicines, which means that you should not buy them on your own or take them unless prescribed by a qualified health professional. Four antiviral drugs are approved for use in flu. They are oseltamivir, zanamivir, amantadine and rimantadine. The swine flu virus is not responding to two of the medicines, i.e amantadine and rimantadine. So far tests show that it is responding to oseltamivir and zanamivir. These medicines act specifically against the flu viruses and will not prevent or treat flu like symptoms caused by aby other virus.
