How Long Should Tamiflu Be Taken?
I was prescribed Tamaflu - two tablets for five days. I have taken it for two days and my husband through area the box today. And yes, today our garbage was picked up. Are there any problems with not taking the entire five days of tablets? Patricia

Hello,
I think that you've been prescribed Tamiflu because of a Flu, so I answer for that case.
If you are not immunosuppressed (due to an illness or a medication) or under chemio/radiotherapy, I think that you could stay without taking the rest of the therapy. Moreover, you have to consider how do you feel: if you feel that your health is improving, (not fever, cough, headache) this is a good sign and maybe you can stay without the therapy.
Regards
