Influenza Treatments

Influenza treatments are available to help prevent and treat various strains of the flu. Depending of the severity of the infection, and the strain, certain treatments might be preferred and in some cases may require more serious medical attention. However, for general strains of influenza, there are treatments readily available.

Prescription influenza treatment

Taking a prescription medication for the flu rather than natural remedies is often a more effective choice as these tend to be more effective in helping reduce symptoms and speed-up recovery. They can also be used as a preventative measure before "flu season" to help avoid catching the infection at all.

Manufactured by Roche Tamiflu

Tamiflu is currently the only prescription medication available to effectively treat and prevent influenza, both A and B strains. It was also widely used for swine flu during the pandemic that spread throughout Europe, UK and the United States. It not only helps relieve symptoms but also decreases recovery time if taken promptly within 48 hours of the infection presenting itself. Side effects are less common but can include nausea, indigestion and diarrhoea.

Alternate influenza treatments

There are a number of alternative treatments for the flu besides prescription medication. These include herbal teas that potentially boost the immune system, or vitamin supplements and certain foods. These usually help relieve symptoms of flu but fail to deal with the underlying cause.

Most often simply bed rest and increased fluid intake is enough to assist with combating the flu. Be sure to speak to your doctor should you become infected as he or she will be able to advise you on the best course of treatment. In some cases prescription treatment might not be necessary but this will depend on the severity of the infection.
