What Are The Side Effects Of Tamiflu Dosage?

I was wondering if not taking the entire regimen of tamiflu could harm me in some way. My skin on my face looks odd so I don t think I should be taking this anymore. I m also taking Azithromycin. I ve never had an allergic reaction to any meds before but so much has changed since my son was born. Thanks!

Dear Ma'am,
Hi & welcome to HCM
I appreciate your concern for safety Tamiflu.

An antiviral drug used in the treatment and prevention of Influenza like H1N1, Tamiflu's common side effects include:

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, eye redness or discomfort, sleep problems, cough or other respiratory symptoms.

Although less common however in some individuals it can also cause a severe allergic reaction resulting in hives, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat; a red and blistering or peeling skin rash.

Use of Azithromycin is not associated with such side effects.

Hope to have answered your query.
