Fluvir 75 mg contains Oseltamivir, an antiviral used to treat and prevent influenza by stopping the virus from spreading in the body and easing symptoms.
Fluvir 75 mg is an antiviral medication formulated with Oseltamivir phosphate, a compound known for its efficacy in treating and preventing influenza (flu). Commonly marketed under the brand name Tamiflu, Fluvir is widely recognized for reducing the duration, severity, and complications associated with flu infections caused by influenza A and B viruses.
With seasonal flu outbreaks recurring each year, especially in colder months, the timely administration of Fluvir can play a critical role in protecting vulnerable individuals, minimizing sick days, and preventing the virus from spreading. Fluvir 75 mg is available in convenient capsule form and is suitable for both treatment and prophylaxis in adults and children above a certain age and weight threshold.
What is Fluvir 75 mg?
Fluvir 75 mg is an oral antiviral medicine that belongs to a class of drugs known as neuraminidase inhibitors. It specifically targets the influenza virus, interfering with its ability to spread within the body. By halting the release of new viral particles from infected cells, Fluvir slows down the progression of the infection, giving the immune system a chance to catch up and mount a response.
Each capsule of Fluvir contains 75 mg of oseltamivir phosphate, which is equivalent to approximately 60 mg of oseltamivir base. The medication is typically taken by mouth, with or without food, and can be initiated at the first signs of flu symptoms or as a preventive measure following exposure to the virus.
Mechanism of Action
Influenza viruses multiply by invading human cells and hijacking their replication machinery. One of the key enzymes that allows these newly formed viruses to exit the host cell and infect other cells is neuraminidase. Oseltamivir, the active ingredient in Fluvir, works by inhibiting neuraminidase, effectively trapping the virus inside the host cell and preventing it from spreading.
This inhibition significantly reduces the viral load in the body, leading to:
-
Faster symptom resolution
-
Reduced risk of complications like pneumonia
-
Lower chances of spreading the virus to others
Importantly, oseltamivir is a prodrug, meaning it becomes active only after being metabolized in the liver. Once converted into its active form, it begins to exert its antiviral action within the body.
