®) [1.4]
Antiviral, neuraminidase inhibitor. Oseltamivir interferes with host cell
release of complete viral particles. M.W. 410.4

Breast feeding "Limited data
indicate that oseltamivir and its active metabolite are poorly excreted into
breastmilk. Maternal dosages of 150 mg daily produce low levels in milk and
would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants,
especially if the infant is older than 2 months. Infants over 1 year of age can
receive oseltamivir directly in doses much larger than those in breastmilk."

Zanamivir ( Relenza
®) [1]
Antiviral, neuraminidase inhibitor . Prevents the
release of progeny viruses from host cell surfaces and, so, further viral
replication. M.W. 332.3 Adults

10 mg (two inhalations) twice a day for 5 days
- Chemoprophylaxis of influenza (5 years of age or older)
Household: 10 mg (two inhalations) once per day for 10
days
after the last close contact (within 6 feet) with a person who is a
confirmed, probable or suspected case of novel influenza A (H1N1) virus
infection during the infectious period of the case.
Community outbreak: 10 mg (two inhalations) once per day for 28
days
Not recommended for treatment or prophylaxis of influenza in individuals
with underlying airways disease (such as asthma or chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease) due to risk of serious bronchospasm
(5 mg blisters of powder on a ROTADISK for oral inhalation via DISKHALER.
Packaged in carton containing 5 ROTADISKs (total of 10 doses) and 1 DISKHALER
