Mechanism Of Action

OSELTASYS 75 Includes: Oseltamivir phosphate—an antiviral drug that is part of a class of drugs called "neuraminidase inhibitors." It does so by restricting the flu virus from having any influence, thereby preventing it from replicating in the body. It not only shortens the duration of flu symptoms, but it can also reduce the risk of complications in high-risk people such as children, seniors, and those with chronic illnesses (eg pneumonia or hospitalization).

Oseltamivir phosphate capsules are sometimes used for:

Therapeutic uses of Oseltamivir (Flu) alleviate the fever, cough, sore throat and muscle pains, and tiredness in influenza infections.

Prevention of Influenza: For people exposed to the flu but have not actually become ill.

Prevention of Complications: Reduces the chance of any major complications from flu, particularly in those at high risk.

How Does Oseltamivir Phosphate Work?

In line with their mechanism of action, oseltamivir phosphate is active against virions within the influenza virus group, essentially demeriting multiplication of the virus to be part of the body. It inhibits the release of new virus particles from infected cells by inhibiting the neuraminidase enzyme. This helps prevent viral replication from increasing by keeping the viral load low and minimizes the virus reaching organs such as the lungs, intestines, or others.
