Fluvia Oral Suspension
Prescription RequiredProduct introduction
Fluvia Oral Suspension is an antiviral medicine used to treat and prevent influenza (flu) as well as swine flu (H1N1 virus). It helps to relieve the symptoms of the flu virus infection, like a stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, cough, body aches, tiredness, headache, fever, and chills.
Fluvia Oral Suspension prevents the flu virus from spreading inside the body. Take it in the exact dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, although taking it with food can reduce the chance of feeling or being sick (nausea or vomiting).
Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Stopping the medication too early may result in a relapse of the infection or failure to protect you from the flu.
Some common side effects include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and diarrhea. These side effects mostly occur after the first dose of the medicine and will usually stop as treatment continues. Please consult your doctor if these side effects persist for a long time.
Before taking it, tell your doctor if you have problems with your heart, liver, or kidneys. Avoid drinking alcohol, as it may increase your risk of liver damage. Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers should consult their doctor before using this medicine.
