Side-Effects - What to Watch Out For

 

This is the list of side-effects that Tamiflu can cause. You may not

get any of these side-effects, but you may get some. While you are

taking Tamiflu, these are the things you should watch out for:

 

Aches and pains

Allergic reactions sometimes leading to shock

Asthma - aggravation of pre-existing asthma

Bronchitis

Chest infection

Conjunctivitis

Dermatitis

Diarrhoea

Difficulty sleeping

Dizziness

Lymphadenopathy

Nausea

Nose bleed

Rash or rashes

Runny nose

Sinusitis

Stevens Johnson syndrome

Symptoms of a cold

Tiredness

Tummy pain

Urticaria

Vomiting

 

If you have any of the above, it may be due to the medicine. Read the

Patient Information Leaflet that comes with your medicine for more

information. If you did not get a Patient Information Leaflet with

your medicine, ask your pharmacist for one.

 

If you feel unwell or are worried, contact your prescriber, pharmacist

or nurse at once. Do not waste any time if you feel very ill. Your

prescriber may decide to change the dose or stop you from having this

medicine again. If you cannot contact your prescriber, call NHS Direct

on 0845 46 47.

 

These are some ingredients in Tamiflu. Remember the amount of these

things are going to accumulate as you dose. Some hospital workers may

be taking tamiflu for longer periods of time and those with

undiagnosed liver, kidney or other undiagnosed problems might be in

danger of organ failure.
