What is Oseltamivir Granules used for?

Oseultamivir granules usually refer to Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules, which generally have functions including treatment of Influenza A, prevention of Influenza A, treatment of Influenza B, prevention of Influenza B, and antiviral effects.

1. Treatment of Influenza A

Oseltamivir granules are primarily used to treat Influenza A. They can prevent the virus from releasing from infected cells, thereby reducing viral spread within the body and improving symptoms such as high fever, headache, and muscle pain.

2. Prevention of Influenza A

When healthy individuals have close contact with someone infected with Influenza A, taking this medication can help prevent infection by inhibiting replication of the influenza virus that may have already entered the body, thus reducing the risk of infection.

3. Treatment of Influenza B

This medication is also effective in treating Influenza B. It inhibits the release and spread of the Influenza B virus, reduces damage to the body, alleviates discomfort such as sore throat, cough, and fatigue, and promotes recovery.

4. Prevention of Influenza B

For individuals who may come into contact with the Influenza B virus, Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules can also be used for prevention. During peak seasons, individuals living in group settings can take the medication in advance to lower the probability of infection and provide some protective effect.

5. Antiviral

Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules are an antiviral medication that works by inhibiting the virus's neuraminidase, preventing the virus from releasing from infected cells, thereby reducing viral spread within the body, inhibiting viral replication, relieving symptoms, and shortening the duration of illness.

Patients should use this medication under the guidance of a doctor and should not take it arbitrarily. A balanced diet should also be maintained during treatment, avoiding spicy and irritating foods such as hot pot and chili peppers, which may affect the medication's effectiveness.
