Would tamiflu 75 mg cause a posative for THC .? ## I wouldnt think so,but idk lol. where did you get that idea? ## @Jimmy, I have to agree with Derk, as I could not locate any specific details or reviews stating that this drug is known for causing a false positive for THC. Did you have any cannabis within the past 90 days prior to your test? If so, a hair test may be able to detect it. I'd also question whether or not you had any other types of medications recently, as there are some other drugs out there that could potentially bring about a false positive for it. I hope this info helps!

now headache,coughing is going on our body ## Have you seen a doctor? Do you know what type of virus it is? Many of them are left to run their course, since they will usually end naturally, but sometimes antiviral medications are required or other medications that can treat the symptoms, such as the coughing.

Its a drug given for swine flu ## To be honest, since the word you used is so close to squealing, I believe someone was pulling your leg. It is an old joke, trying to make a pun on unusual medication names. In the U.S. there are 2 drugs that are used for swine flu, there are Tamiflu and Relenza. Are there any questions or comments? ## Thanks cause I heard its a drug that their going to give people as a vaccine for the swine flu.

If so, this is an over the counter remedy and not proven to prevent anything, including swine flu. ## The name of the medicine should be TAMIFLU, it treats flu,and sells under prescription of doctor. Must be taken within 12 to 48 hours from the first appearance of flu symptoms. More drug details: Manufacturer's site: www.tamiflu.com

it won't take long until the worldwide stocks are exhausted. Virologists have predicted that the hybridisation of bird flu virus and human influenza will take place soon. Nobody know when, but that it will happen is for sure. The most important virologists in the world stockpiled Tamiflu a long time back and so should we.
