What is Oseltamivir Phosphate?
Oseltamivir Phosphate is the main active ingredient in Oseltamivir Phosphate, which fights the influenza virus. Oseltamivir Phosphate is suitable for children over one year old and adults. Although mild side effects may occur in rare cases, its effectiveness in preventing and treating influenza is irreplaceable. Roche’s famous Tamiflu, made from Oseltamivir Phosphate, initially gained market share.
What is Oseltamivir Phosphate raw material used for?
Oseltamivir Phosphate raw material is used to manufacture Oseltamivir Phosphate finished drugs. The main forms of Oseltamivir Phosphate drugs are:
- Oseltamivir Phosphate granules
- Oseltamivir Phosphate capsules
- Oseltamivir Phosphate oral suspension

Oseltamivir Phosphate GranulesGranules are more suitable for children or those with difficulty swallowing because the dosage can be adjusted according to individual needs (for example: weight, severity of symptoms), and the taste is more palatable for children.
Oseltamivir Phosphate CapsulesCapsules are more suitable for adolescents or adults because they contain a fixed amount, typically 75 mg of Oseltamivir Phosphate, and are easily taken with warm water.
Oseltamivir Phosphate Oral SuspensionOral suspensions require careful attention to the administration method and should be noted that the shelf life after mixing is relatively short (17 days at 2-8°C, 10 days at 25°C). Expired medication should not be taken. Its advantage is also convenient administration, making it suitable for young children.
How does Oseltamivir Phosphate work?
After oral administration of Oseltamivir Phosphate, it is converted into an active metabolite called oseltamivir hydroxy acid by esterases in the liver and intestines. Oseltamivir hydroxy acid can inhibit the release of viruses from cells, reduce the spread of viruses, effectively reduce the severity of influenza symptoms and shorten the duration of influenza symptoms, and reduce the probability of complications, thereby achieving the purpose of influenza treatment.
Dosage of Oseltamivir Phosphate
- While Oseltamivir Phosphate can be taken before or after meals, it is recommended to take it after meals. This helps reduce the development of drug resistance and avoids symptoms such as vomiting and gastrointestinal discomfort caused by an empty stomach.
- Since Oseltamivir Phosphate can be purchased without a prescription, the dosage of Oseltamivir Phosphate should be strictly followed according to the drug instructions unless advised by a doctor. Do not double the dosage in order to see results more quickly.
- When you develop flu symptoms, the earlier you take the medication, the better the effect. If symptoms appear more than 3 days ago, the medication may not be as effective.
- Those with mild symptoms should take the medication for a full 3 days. Those with slightly more severe symptoms should take it for a full 5 days, even if flu symptoms have lessened or disappeared, to prevent recurrence.
First, Oseltamivir Phosphate is an antiviral drug, while penicillin is an antibiotic; they are two completely different substances. If you are allergic to antibiotics, you can use Oseltamivir Phosphate with confidence.
The most common side effects are gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, vomiting, etc.), which can be relieved by taking it with meals; and neurological adverse reactions (headache, dizziness, etc.), most of which disappear on their own after stopping the medication. If you experience severe discomfort, please seek medical attention promptly.
First, you absolutely cannot drink alcohol after taking Oseltamivir Phosphate. Second, Oseltamivir Phosphate does not cause drowsiness. If you experience drowsiness, it may be due to the flu itself.
Can Oseltamivir Phosphate be taken with other medications?
- Oseltamivir Phosphate and Nyquil can be taken together without any adverse effects, but there is a risk of overlapping ingredients and potential side effects, so it is not recommended.
- Oseltamivir Phosphate and Tylenol can be taken together, a common and safe combination. Tylenol is a single-ingredient fever reducer and analgesic, and taking them together can control high fever and pain while fighting the virus.
- Oseltamivir Phosphate and ibuprofen can be taken together, a common and safe combination. Ibuprofen reduces fever and relieves pain and does not interact with Oseltamivir Phosphate.
