Suggest Medication For Influenza-A
I am in nursing program in Nevada: I am using Asunder nursing drug handbook, 2017. First question, what is the best medication for influenza A? The only one I could find in Saunders is Oseltamivir (Tamiflu). I noticed Rimantadine, is this good for a 92 y/o woman w/type A?
