What’s the difference between a generic and brand-name
drug? Not much, except for name and price. A generic drug is
called by its chemical name; a manufacturer assigns a brand name.
The products have the same ingredients.
Tamiflu
and Relenza are the only medicines known to treat INFLUENZA and
the AVIAN BIRD FLU. Tamiflu attacks the flu at its source and
stops it from spreading in the body. Purchase Tamiflu online
without prescription.
Tamiflu
(Oseltamivir) is used to treat some types of influenza (flu) in
patients who have had symptoms of the flu for 2 days or less. Tamiflu is
in a class of drugs called neuraminidase inhibitors. These drugs work by
stopping the growth and spread of the flu virus in your body. Tamiflu
helps shorten the time you have flu symptoms such as nasal congestion,
sore throat, cough, muscle aches, tiredness, headache, fever, and
chills.

household members exposed to a flu sufferer).
HOW TO USE:

Take this medication until the full prescribed amount is finished, even

relapse of the infection. Inform your doctor if your condition worsens

Health officials urge Tamiflu maker to
stockpile drug The
latest outbreak of bird flu in Indonesia prompted the World Health
Organization on Saturday to put the maker of Tamiflu on alert to prepare
the global stockpile of the anti-viral drug.
The UN health agency has asked the maker of the anti-bird flu drug
Tamiflu to ready the global stockpile after human-to-human transmission
was suspected in a family cluster in Indonesia. (Michael Probst/Associated
Press)
WHO spokesman Dick Thompson also said the agency has "no intention" of
shipping the stockpile it wants the Swiss manufacturer Roche Holding AG
to prepare.
"We see this as a practice run," he told the Associated Press.
Aim of 400 million courses of treatment
Roche has already given WHO five million courses of treatment, and with
the help of global partners, the company promises to be producing 400
million courses a year by 2007.
Human-to-human transmission was suspected but not confirmed this week in
a family cluster in a remote village on the island of Sumatra.
Six of the seven members of an extended Indonesian family who caught
bird flu have died, the most recent on Monday.
An eighth family member who died was buried before tests could be done,
but she was considered to be among those infected with bird flu.
The Geneva-based UN agency said the outbreak in the village of Kubu
Sembilang was the most significant development yet in the spread of the
virus.
Concern about human-to-human contact
WHO said it was concerned about the size of the cluster and confusion
over whether its transmission was human-to-human or caused by people
coming into contact with infected poultry.
Scientists said there was no indication of more widespread
human-to-human transmission.
The WHO has stressed the virus has not mutated into a version easily
passed between people or shown signs of spreading outside the family.
World Health Organization officials so far have confirmed 36 human
deaths from bird flu in Indonesia, out of 124 reported worldwide since
late 2003.
Roche Now Shipping
Tamiflu to USA Swiss
drug maker Roche said on Tuesday it had lifted restrictions on shipments
of influenza drug Tamiflu that were put in place to prevent hoarding by
consumers worried about bird flu. Roche said it was now shipping
the oral drug to all markets to fight the seasonal flu widespread in
several U.S. states.
The company said it previously was distributing Tamiflu only to U.S.
cities where a high incidence of influenza was being reported.
Roche said it boosted shipments after seeing an increase in flu reports
in the United States and a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
advisory to doctors to avoid using two older flu drugs this season.
"We are prepared to meet seasonal demand for Tamiflu, including any
increase stemming from CDC's recent announcement," George Abercrombie,
president and chief executive of Roche unit Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., said
in a statement.
CDC Stockpiling Tamiflu to Fight Avian
Flu
Currently, the CDC has enough
oseltamivir (Tamiflu) capsules to treat approximately 2.26 million
adults and oseltamivir (Tamiflu) suspension to treat more than 100,000
children. In addition, CDC contains enough rimantadine tablets to treat
up to 4.25 million people and enough rimantadine suspension to treat up
to 750,000. It should be noted, however, that oseltamivir (Tamiflu) is
the only antiviral at this time shown to be effective against the H5N1
avian influenza virus in Asia. In addition, CDC funds have been used to
purchase approximately 2 million bulk doses of unfinished, unfilled H5N1
vaccine, although it is not yet formulated into vials nor is the vaccine
licensed. Clinical testing to determine dosage and schedule for this
vaccine began in April 2005 with funding from the National Institutes of
Health.
USA Prepares an Avian Bird Flu Vaccine

The United States has enough of the antiviral medication
oseltamivir, marketed by Roche Laboratories as Tamiflu, to treat about
2.3 million people.
But some 90 million people would need the medication in the event of a
flu pandemic, said Hayden, adding the nation should have enough for 4.3
million people by year's end.
The H5N1 avian influenza virus has killed
millions of birds across Asia and infected 116 people, killing more than
60 of them. Scientists are concerned the virus, currently known to pass
to humans from birds, could mutate and be passed among humans.
A draft of the Bush administration's final plan for dealing with a
likely pandemic flu outbreak shows the United States is unprepared for
the potential disaster, The New York Times reported on Saturday.
Nearly 2 million people in the United States could die, and a large
outbreak that began in Asia would likely reach the United States within
"a few months or even weeks," the Times cited the report as saying.
More than 25 countries have stockpiles of anti-flu drugs, Hayden said,
and 10 either have enough or have ordered enough to treat 20 percent to
40 percent of their populations.
At current capacity, it would take about 10 years and cost about 14
billion euros to produce enough oseltamivir to treat 20 percent of the
world's population, the flu specialist at the University of Virginia
added.
Up
to 30 percent of the population could come down with the flu, according
to Hayden. "It would certainly cause a lot of hospitalizations and a lot
of loss of life," he said.
The Infectious Diseases Society of America recommends that enough
antiviral drugs be available to treat half of the population. Hayden
said early treatment, preferably within two days of the onset of
symptoms, was crucial to preventing complications and death.
U.S. President George W. Bush on Friday asked vaccine makers to do speed
up flu vaccine production.
Several companies are working on an H5N1 vaccine, and the furthest along
is France's Sanofi-Aventis. U.S.-based Chiron Corp. aims to test its
H5N1 vaccine later this year and Britain's GlaxoSmithKline Plc plans
large-scale clinical trials in 2006. The ordinary flu vaccine does not
protect against avian flu.
