Sk-Flu Capsule contains Oseltamivir
Sk-Flu Capsule side effects
The most frequently reported adverse events are nausea and vomiting. These events generally of mild to moderate degree and usually are occurred on the first 2 days of administration. Additional adverse events occurring in <1% of patients receiving Oseltamivir for treatment include unstable angina, anemia, pseudomembranous colitis, humerus fracture, pneumonia, pyrexia, and peritonsillar abscess.
There is no evidence for efficacy of Oseltamivir Phosphate in any illness caused by agents other than influenza viruses Types A and B. Efficacy of Oseltamivir Phosphate in patients who begin treatment after 40 hours of symptoms has not been established.
Information derived from pharmacology and pharmacokinetic studies of Oseltamivir suggests that clinically significant drug interactions are unlikely. Co-administration with amoxicillin does not alter plasma levels of either compound.
Pregnancy Category C: There are insufficient human data upon which to base an evaluation of risk of Oseltamivir Phosphate to the pregnant woman or developing fetus.
Nursing Mothers: It is not known whether oseltamivir or oseltamivir carboxylate is excreted in human milk. Oseltamivir Phosphate should, therefore, be used only if the potential benefit for the lactating mother justifies the potential risk to the breast-fed infant.
Oseltamivir is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the components of the product.
Hepatic Impairment: The safety and pharmacokinetics in patients with hepatic impairment have not been evaluated.
Renal Impairment: Dose adjustment is recommended for patients with a serum creatinine clearance <30 mL/min.
Geriatric Use: The safety of Oseltamivir Phosphate has been established in clinical studies.
Pediatric Use: The safety and efficacy of Oseltamivir Phosphate in pediatric patients younger than 1 year of age have not been studied. Oseltamivir Phosphate is not indicated for either treatment or prophylaxis of influenza in pediatric patients younger than 1 year of age.
