I'm 32 weeks pregnant. I have NEVER in my entire life been as sick as I have the last 2 months. This pregnancy has killed my immune system. Even with my 2 prior prgnancies I have never had more than a sniffle (other then pregnancy related illness). I had an URI like 2 weeks ago. I had a could several weeks before that that lasted more than 2 weeks. I'm sure ill have the flu here pretty soon.

Quoting P3RvYmCp3rv:" tamiflu doesn't stop the virus....it helps reduce symptoms from the virus. "

The mechanism that makes Tamiflu work slows the spread of the virus there by reducing symptoms. It reinforces cell was so that the virus cannot penetrate. If she has already been exposed then it is likely that the virus is multiplying. That is why they say you need it within the first 72 hrs. After that the virus has spread to far. Less virus less symptoms...if all it did was reduce symptoms it would be just the same as any OTC med.
