Anti-Viral Medications for the Flu

There are two anti-viral medications that are used to treat both the seasonal flu and the H1N1 strain. Relenza® is an inhaled medication that has caused issues in some people with asthma. Relenza® does contain lactose from dairy. Talk to your doctor if there is a dairy allergy diagnosis. Tamiflu is an oral medication used to treat the flu. It does contain corn starch and gelatin.

Check out the ingredients in both medications before you or your child may need them.
