OseItamivir is commonly available in granules, capsules, and suspensions. Generally, if patients have good physical health, the side effects after taking oseltamivir are usually mild. However, if patients have poor physical health or there is drug abuse, the side effects might be more pronounced. If any abnormalities occur, timely medical attention is recommended. Detailed analysis is as follows:
Patients who are physically healthy and without underlying diseases can better tolerate oseltamivir, with more efficient metabolism and excretion of the drug, resulting in generally mild side effects. Conversely, patients with poor physical conditions, such as those with underlying diseases like hepatic or renal insufficiency or neurological disorders, may poorly tolerate oseltamivir, leading to severe gastrointestinal reactions or neurological abnormalities, manifested as nausea, abdominal pain, headache, and other symptoms. If patients take oseltamivir in excess of the prescribed dosage without following medical advice, the side effects may be exacerbated. Overuse increases the drug's concentration in the body, thereby increasing irritation and damage to organs such as the gastrointestinal tract and nervous system.
Therefore, when using oseltamivir, patients should strictly follow medical instructions, pay attention to their physical responses, and seek timely medical care if any adverse reactions occur.
