Yes. CDC recommends the use of oseltamivir or zanamivir for the treatment and/or prevention of infection with these H1N1 (Swine) influenza viruses. Anti-viral drugs are prescription medicines (pills, liquid or an inhaler) that fight against the flu by keeping flu viruses from reproducing in your body. If you get sick, anti-viral drugs can make your illness milder and make you feel better faster. They may also prevent serious flu complications. For treatment, anti-viral drugs work best if started soon after getting sick (within 2 days of symptoms).
