8 1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE. treatment of influenza TAMIFLU is indicated for the treatment of acute, uncomplicated illness due to influenza A and B infection in patients 2 weeks of age and older who have been symptomatic for no more than 48 hours. prophylaxis of influenza TAMIFLU is indicated for the prophylaxis of influenza A and B in patients 1 year and older. Limitations of Use TAMIFLU is not a substitute for early influenza vaccination on an annual basis as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices. influenza viruses change over time. Emergence of resistance substitutions could decrease drug effectiveness. Other factors (for example, changes in viral virulence) might also diminish clinical benefit of antiviral drugs.

9 Prescribers should consider available INFORMATION on influenza drug susceptibility patterns and treatment effects when deciding whether to use TAMIFLU [see Microbiology ( )]. TAMIFLU is not recommended for patients with end-stage renal disease not undergoing dialysis [see Dosage and Administration ( ) and Use in Specific Populations ( )]. 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION. Dosage and Administration Overview Administer TAMIFLU for the treatment of influenza in patients 2 weeks of age or older [see Dosage and Administration ( )] or for prophylaxis of influenza in patients 1 year and older [see Dosage and Administration ( )] using: TAMIFLU capsules or TAMIFLU for oral suspension (supplied as a powder).

10 This is the preferred formulation (6 mg per mL). for patients who cannot swallow capsules. Prior to use, the supplied TAMIFLU powder must be constituted with water by the pharmacist to produce the oral suspension [see Dosage and Administration ( )]. The capsules and oral suspension may be taken with or without food; however, tolerability may be enhanced if TAMIFLU is taken with food. Adjust the TAMIFLU dosage in patients with moderate or severe renal impairment [see Dosage and Administration ( )]. For patients who cannot swallow capsules, TAMIFLU for oral suspension is the preferred formulation. When TAMIFLU for oral suspension is not available from wholesaler or the manufacturer, TAMIFLU capsules may be opened and mixed with sweetened liquids such as regular or sugar-free chocolate syrup, corn syrup, caramel topping, or light brown sugar (dissolved in water).
