”Tamiflu” on Influenza H1N1 influenza virus is effective
According to all of the information, “Tamiflu” is internationally recognized as the treatment of influenza drugs. Guangdong Provincial Hospital Director of Respiratory Medicine, Professor Lin Lin explained, we commonly used antiviral drugs are two major categories, one is amantadine drugs, the other neuraminidase inhibitor drugs. According to current research situation, influenza A H1N1 influenza virus is not sensitive to the drugs amantadine and the neuraminidase inhibitors class of drugs is still sensitive. “Tamiflu,” the pharmacological effects are mainly inhibit viral replication, the virus does not replicate in the body, then it will gradually be eliminated, while the toxins produced by a virus the body will gradually reduce the extent of damage, thus the clinical symptoms reduced or disappeared. It can be said, “Tamiflu” is the treatment of influenza A H1N1 influenza virus effects of drugs. But preferably in the early stage of infection or viral infection of the incubation period of use.
Do not, “Duffy” When the preventive use of drugs
Many people know that “Tamiflu” on Influenza H1N1 influenza virus valid, I thought I want to reserve some at home, and even some thought of the word “Tamiflu” to prevent influenza A H1N1 influenza. In response, Lin Lin, director, said that there is such misunderstanding of performance. She warned the public: “Tamiflu” is by inhibiting viral replication and play a role in the treatment of influenza, and if the body is not infected with a virus, you eat “Tamiflu”, then do not have any effect, that is, “Duffy” than preventive medicine, but the role of drugs for treatment. If the early stage of infection, or infected with the virus incubation period (that is infected with the virus but have not yet onset) to eat, “Tamiflu”, then it could serve as a good role.
In short words, Tamiflu is the existence of the virus in the body under the premise of the role played kill the virus, it can not resist the virus invades the human body.
Although the “Tamiflu” effective but do not abuse
Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing Union Medical College School of Public Health president Professor Huang Jianshi accepted 39 Health Network interview that “effective does not mean that can be cured.” In his view, viral disease that is generally self-limited disease, antiviral role is to help restore health and reduce complications. The current consensus in the medical profession got the disease in later, within 48 hours of medication is effective over 48 hours of little usefulness. They must be timely medical treatment.
But now the scientific literature has shown that “Tamiflu” has been on the seasonal flu are resistant to the ordinary. Large-scale use of these drugs is likely to lead to Influenza A H1N1 influenza virus resistance. Once generated resistance, “Tamiflu” useless. So, as “Tamiflu” The drugs currently in force, do not abuse!
Ordinary people do not need to take “Duffy”
World Health Organization has suggested that “Tamiflu” is mainly used in patients with confirmed influenza A H1N1 flu suspected patients, cases of contact and so on. In addition, the general public does not need to take, “Duffy.”
Since the outbreak of Influenza A H1N1 influenza, many people, even some companies and institutions to the pharmacy advisory unit had been “Tamiflu” for sale. In fact, in our country, “Duffy,” belong to the state reserve materials, general pharmacies do not sell. Experts have warned the public not to their own reserves at home, “Duffy.” Are mainly that the focus on prevention, do pay attention to personal hygiene, quarantine and other measures do a good job. Once people suspected Influenza A H1N1 influenza symptoms must go to the formal medical institutions for treatment, should not blind medication.
