MEDEX Assistance advises travelers who are experiencing flu symptoms in a risk-prone area to still seek medical care immediately even if they brought Tamiflu with them. If a physician in your home country prescribed Tamiflu prior to your travels, try to contact your physician for specific instructions. You may also see a local medical professional who can provide advice. MEDEX Assistance can assist you in finding a local medical professional. Keep in mind that Tamiflu should be administered by a medical professional within 48 hours from the first sign of flu symptoms. Also, remember that Tamiflu has not been confirmed as a reliable treatment for Swine Flu. If you do have Swine Flu, local medical professionals will be most up-to-date on additional/ alternative treatments that may be available.
