Just started Oseltamivir 30mg for the flu. Anyone else experience side effects?

#medicine #flu #sideEffects

I was prescribed Oseltamivir 30mg Capsules to treat my flu symptoms and started taking them yesterday. I've heard mixed things about the side effects. I've experienced some minor stomach discomfort, but nothing too severe. Just curious if anyone else has had any side effects or if it's generally well-tolerated.

I had a severe reaction to this stuff. I can vouch that Stevens-Johnson syndrome is not a fun experience, and it was terrifying.

I read that it can cause severe allergic reactions. You should definitely be aware of those symptoms.

I took oseltamivir and got a rash, ended up having to go to the ER. Turns out it was a rare allergic reaction.

I had a bit of diarrhea and an upset stomach when I took it a few years ago, but it went away after a day. Just make sure you're hydrated!

I took it last year and felt fine, no side effects at all. Just make sure you start taking it within the first 48 hours of symptoms, like the doc says.

My doctor said it's best to take it with food to avoid stomach issues. Has anyone tried that?

I've never had any issues with side effects. I always take it with food to avoid any stomach problems.
