emerging bird flu issues, page-2

And guess what if tamiflu becomes resistant to H5n1 there is no other drug.

Oh dear how sad but typical. GSK do nothing to promote Relenza. It's BTAs lot in life.


JAKARTA - MICOM: Health Minister Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih suspect in Indonesia has occurred the possibility of resistance (drug resistance) to the drug oseltamivir.

The hypothesis was made based on the presence of some positive victims of bird flu in Indonesia are still died despite oseltamivir have been given early.

If there is resistance to oseltamivir, Indonesia no longer has a drug to counteract the spread of the H5N1 virus. Because, oseltamivir is the only drug that can kill the flu virus, although with certain prerequisites and conditions. In the market, oseltamivir sold under the brand Tamiflu.
