Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
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.
