I was diagnosed with H1N1 and given Tamiflu?

Question

The tamiflu made me throw up two hours later after the first pill, and after the second pill my face broke out in rashes. I've been taking two gravol and a benadryl along with my tamiflu. I have taken my third pill and don't have any other side affects and my rash hasnt spread or gotten worse. Is it safe to keep taking it?

I would stop immediately.There is obviously something in it that is not agreeing with you.Instead of helping you get over the H1N1,it could be hindering it.I would go back to the doctor and tell them that you are allergic to the Tamiflu and they will discuss with you what other options you have.Not everyone that takes Tamiflu will be fine so,don't worry it's not just you.I would suggest you keep taking the other medication because I am sure you feel bad and you need some relief.

I would call the nurses line. I have heard of this effect from Tamiflu. Do you have a underlining heath problem that prompt the Dr. to irascible you it? If so I would defiantly call it in ASAP.

Answer 3

I would call the doctor. . . The tamiflu is what pretty much saved me. It sounds like you are having an allergic reaction, and if so it's best to lay off.
