It is part of the class of medications called neuraminidase inhibitors, which inhibit the virus and prevent damage.

Mechanism of Action for Oseltamivir Phosphate Oral Suspension

The active component is oseltamivir phosphate 12 mg, a selective neuraminidase inhibitor. It is an enzyme located on the surface of the influenza virus (Influenza A and Influenza B). They contain an enzyme that is essential for the virus to leave infected cells and go on to infect healthy cells.
