What Are The Uses And Side Effects Of Tamiflu Tablets?
I had the Flu days ago and treated it with Tamiflu. At the same time, Me, my friend, and her mother all came down with pityriasis rosea. Her and her mother s rash is widespread and has progressed a lot in ten days, while on the other hand i have had no more than six spots on my entire body, (four on my left arm, in different spots on my arm. The other two are on my chin). Could the Tamiflu be stunting the progression of the Pityriasis Rosea? I ve heard other antivirals show some signs of successful treatment, but haven t heard of any cases with Tamiflu involved.

dear friend
Oseltamivir or tamiflu has similar side effect profile like any other,drug,
you may be having an allergic reaction to the drug, why did you come to the conclusion that you have pityriasis rosea,
in the normal course tamiflu is not used to treat influenza until there are specific indication of it turning dangerous in certain group of people, influenza responds very well to supportive treatment and runs its course. if the diagnosis that you have made of pityriasis rosea is self made i suggest please visit the physician who prescribed the drug and discuss the issue as you most likely are having FDR
