Can I get Tamiflu to have on hand now in case I get sick?
No. Tamiflu is a prescription drug that requires a health care provider’s prescription. It should only be taken by people with severe influenza. Most of the people who have already had H1N1 swine flu recovered on their own without Tamiflu or other antiviral medication. If too many people without severe influenza take Tamiflu, we could see the development of H1N1 swine flu that is resistant to Tamiflu.
