default
Posted on Sat, 28 Dec 2019
Question: Just a general question regarding Tamiflu.

If someone was to experience confusion, disorientation, delirium, hallucinations from this medication how long would they last approximately for after the last dose of the medication?

And how long after the last dose could these symptoms start? E.g could these side effects start 30+ hours after the last Tamiflu dosage or would they happen sooner?

Thanks
doctor

Brief Answer:
Consult with psychiatrist...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I have gone through your query and here is my advice.

As per your history, it may be due to Tablet Tamiflu. These are very rare but serious side effects of tablet Tamiflu.

Usually these symptoms start within 1 to 2 days after starting medication.

For further assessment, I would suggest you to consult with psychiatrist for detailed clinical examination. He may procure electroencephalography, computed tomography or MRI brain as per evaluation. You may require tablet olanzapine after consultation.

Hope I have answered your query and let me know if I can assist you further.
