Yes. The CDC recommends the antiviral drugs oseltamivir (Tamiflu) or zanamivir (Relenza) to treat H1N1 and certain strains of seasonal flu, but only for severely ill (hospitalized) patients and for people with the flu who also have a condition such as a chronic illness or compromised immune system that places them at high risk for serious flu-related complications.
