Swine Flu Medication and Prevention
Swine flu medication
Currently there is no vaccine available for the treatment of swine flu. However, doctors feel that popular anti-viral drugs such as Tamiflu and Relenza can prove useful for treatment as well as preventive purposes.
A popular prescription drug, Tamiflu, can help treat influenza type A infection, which includes swine flu. Not only this, it can also prevent the flu. The main ingredient in Tamiflu is oseltamivir, which stops the further spread of the virus in the body, providing it more immunity to fight back.
Since Tamiflu is a prescription drug, patients who takes it are likely to suffer from some of its side effects such as nausea, vomiting, rash, abdominal pain, and sleep problems. It's advisable for patients to take Tamiflu with food, as it can lower the intensity of these side effects. Remember, Tamiflu is a proven drug for flu treatment and proves beneficial for flu prevention too.

You could say it looks like a "biker" hawk.
