Oseltamivir phosphate (Tamiflu), Amantadine (Symmetrel) and Zanamivir (Relenza) in bird flu treatment.
Tamiflu was approved by the FDA in 1999 and ever since, has been by far the first choice among physicians, when it comes to prevention  or treatment of bird flu.
The drug can be prescribed for adolescents, adults or children, after their first year of age.
Tamiflu is available in capsules of 75mg and in a powder form for oral suspension of 75ml which provides 12mg/ml.
The medication is usually given in people who are at a high risk for getting infected by the strain H5N1. This is a type A virus, responsible for avian influenza, better known as bird flu. If Tamiflu is given within the first two days after the onset of the disease, it can ease the symptoms and may prevent complications. Although the drug can also be used as general anti-influenza medication, it does not seem to be effective in viral infections other than type A and B influenza. For instance, no benefit has been reported from taking Tamiflu for common cold treatment.
Tamiflu is recommended to be used under a physician's instructions. Safety in pregnancy has not been acknowledged yet. Tamiflu is not a substitute for influenza vaccine.
Contraindications for the use of Tamiflu include heart conditions, lung disease and renal failure.
Although nausea and vomiting are the most common side-effects, headaches, dizziness, insomnia, cough, bronchitis, abdominal discomfort and diarrhea may occur during the use of Tamiflu.

Amantadine (Symmetrel) in bird flu treatment.
Symmetrel is another antiviral agent approved by the FDA in November 1980. The drug is used in Parkinson's disease treatment and respiratory infections caused by influenza A virus. Occasionally, Symmetrel is prescribed to improve sexual desire and to reduce orgasm difficulties in people being treating for depression by taking selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).
Although Symmetrel doesn’t always give the  expected beneficial results against bird flu, it seems to contribute to an effective treatment scheme, if combined with Tamiflu. Many experts have come to the conclusion that the combination of the two agents can produce far better results that the treatment with Tamiflu alone. Studies in the UK have given evidence that the avian influenza strain which gave the bird flu outbreak in Turkey in 2006 is sensitive in amantadine.
Relatively common side-effects include dizziness, blurred vision, faintness and insomnia.
Symmetrel can cause stomach discomfort. Thus, it is recommended to be taken with milk or after a meal. In any case it should be used under a physician’s instructions. If the slightest sign of allergy appears, the treatment based on this drug must be discontinued.
Symmetrel is available in the market and if you try the

Zanamivir (Relenza) in bird flu treatment.
Zanamivir (Relenza) has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in order to be used against viral infections, such as influenza, caused  by A and B strains. However, Relenza has been used in bird flu treatment with significant therapeutical results in some clinical cases.
The drug is an inhalant in the form of powder. The typical instructive directions for Relenza are to be used twice a day for five days. The medicine is far more effective if it is used within the first forty eight hours after the onset of the illness. Like Tamiflu, Relenza can be used for preventive purposes, in people who are at high risk to be infected by viruses, including the avian influenza strain. In such cases the drug must be inhaled once a day and used for at least ten consecutive days. Relenza can be prescribed for adolescents, adults or children, providing they have completed their seventh year of age. In presence of any previous condition affecting the respiratory system, a doctor will determine, whether the use of Relenza is safe for the patient or not. If you have been described Relenza, you will be able to find it online by using
