Generally, influenza refers to the flu. Medications used in treating the flu include Oseltamivir Phosphate Capsules, Ambroxol Hydrochloride Oral Solution, Baloxavir Marboxil Tablets, Amantadine Hydrochloride Tablets, and Antiviral Oral Liquid. Detailed explanations are as follows:

1. Oseltamivir Phosphate Capsules

Oseltamivir Phosphate Capsules are a type of neuraminidase inhibitor that can block the spread of the influenza virus and prevent its replication in the body, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing and treating influenza.

2. Ambroxol Hydrochloride Oral Solution

Ambroxol Hydrochloride Oral Solution is a cough and expectorant medication. It is suitable for symptoms such as cough and phlegm caused by influenza. It can dilute sputum and promote its expulsion, thus relieving cough symptoms.

3. Baloxavir Marboxil Tablets

Baloxavir Marboxil Tablets are a CAP-dependent endonuclease inhibitor. After taking this medication, it can effectively inhibit the proliferation of influenza virus cells in the patient's body and reduce the replication ability of the influenza virus.

4. Amantadine Hydrochloride Tablets

Amantadine Hydrochloride Tablets are M2 ion channel blockers with antiviral effects. They can help alleviate physical discomfort caused by the flu. This type of medication is contraindicated for patients with impaired liver or kidney function.

5. Antiviral Oral Liquid

Antiviral Oral Liquid is a traditional Chinese medicine. Its ingredients, such as Rehmannia root, Isatis root, and Turmeric, have effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, which can help relieve discomfort symptoms in patients with influenza.

However, please note that the above medications should be used under the guidance of a physician to ensure the safety and effectiveness of drug therapy. In addition, treatment for influenza should also incorporate comprehensive measures such as rest, sufficient water intake, and a balanced diet to enhance immunity and accelerate the recovery process.

Is timolol maleate eye drops effective for treating hemangioma?

The medication can penetrate locally, inhibit vascular proliferation within the hemangioma, slow down lesion growth, and even promote gradual regression. These hemangiomas are typically located in the superficial skin layers, allowing the drug to fully reach and act on the lesion. This treatment is commonly used in clinical practice as a standard intervention for such hemangiomas.
