tamiflu 係一隻專門對付virus既特效藥, 我個仔上星期燒左3日都唔退燒, 去睇e生就開左tamiflu比我個仔食, 一個療程要食10粒, 早晚飯後一粒, 如果係e生寫紙買tamiflu係government support, 免費唔駛比$$$. 最後個e生話依家大部份人感冒超過95%都係H1N1.

冇事唔好乱食，有事就要食完成个療程，否則可能引至病毒有抗药性，到時tamiflu都救唔到你！

you can't just buy it; you need a prescription for that.

Why are you so paranoid?

You are easy to get sick and you consider you are one of the high risk people?
If it is the case, I suggest you to take long vacation and stay at home for at least 3 months from now..

The whole world is attacking by H1N1 now.

If you are in the high risk group, I'd think you should get it.

Tamiflu is an antiviral, which is like antibiotics.  The common side effects are nausea and vomiting.  I won't say it's SUPER strong, but it is used to treat viral infection like flu VS antibioitics for bacterial infections.

A lot of big chain pharmacies actually have the pandemic supply from the government - so it's free.  But they are only free for people who are actually sick.  If you are getting it for just-in-case then you would have to pay for it. But if you have an extended heatlh benefit plan, it would be likely covered as well.

Get it or not now - I would say it depends if you live alone or not.  If, touch wood, you really got it, you probably would be too sick to go out to fill your prescription.  So it would be easier to have it on hand.  However, if you have someone who can pick up your prescription for you, then you can wait till it actually happens first before getting it.  If that's the case, I would leave the prescription on file in your pharmacy, so you just have to call them to order it when you need it and send someone else to pick it up for you.

I dun think he/she considers him/herself to be high risk because he/she gets sick easily - probably the dr mentioned that he/she is in the high risk group.

According to the Canadian flu guide, people who are pregnant, asthmatic, with respiratory or cardiac disease, on immunosuppressive therapy, HIV, under 2, under 18 taking long-term ASA, and over 65 are in the high risk group.
