General Tamiflu Dosage Information

Here is some general information you should know about your Tamiflu dosage:
 
  • Your Tamiflu dosage can be taken at any time during the day. However, it should be taken at the same time each day to maintain an even level of the drug in your system.
     
  • Your Tamiflu dosage can be taken with or without food. If it bothers your stomach, try taking it with food.
     
  • Tamiflu comes in either liquid or capsule form. If prescribed Tamiflu capsules, do not break, chew, or crush them. For Tamiflu suspension, make sure to shake it before each dose.

       
  • Make sure that you complete your entire prescription of Tamiflu, even if you start feeling better before it's finished. This will ensure that the infection is completely treated.
     
  • If you are unsure about anything related to Tamiflu or your Tamiflu dosage, talk to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist. Do not stop taking Tamiflu without first discussing it with your healthcare provider.
