07:37 AM CDT on Wednesday, April 29, 2009 Tamiflu is most effective treatment for swine flu WASHINGTON – Tamiflu, an antiviral prescription medication in pill form, so far is the most effective treatment for combating the new swine flu and for protecting health care workers who may be exposed to it. The drug is made and marketed by Roche Holding AG of Switzerland but was developed by Gilead Sciences Inc. of California in 1996. Demand for the drug rose quickly with the threat of a deadly bird strain of flu that emerged in 2004, and all 50 states and dozens of countries now have enough strategic stockpiles of the drug for 220 million people. The drug has a seven-year shelf life. FDA approved Tamiflu (oseltamivir phosphate), an oral anti-viral drug for the treatment of uncomplicated influenza in patients one year and older whose flu symptoms have not lasted more than two days. This product is approved to treat Type A and B influenza; however, the majority of patients included in the studies were infected with type A, the most common in the U.S. Efficacy of Tamiflu in the treatment of influenza in subjects with chronic cardiac disease and/or respiratory disease has not been established. Tamiflu is also approved for the prevention of influenza in adults and children aged one year and older. Efficacy of Tamiflu for the prevention of influenza has not been established in immunocompromised patients.
