When will Tamiflu be available to take along for those who travel in areas where there is avian influenza?
As a result of increased demand for Tamiflu, Roche has decided to proactively manage the Tamiflu inventory. Their top priority is to ensure that the product will be available to patients who are diagnosed with influenza, as well as those in need of post-exposure treatment or prevention from seasonal influenza. Therefore, Roche has temporarily suspending shipment of Tamiflu until an increased incidence of seasonal flu is established, as tracked by FluStar.com. Roche will then distribute product to ensure that Tamiflu is available in the areas where flu emerges to meet the seasonal demand.
