Dosage of Oseltamivir (Cont.)

General Oseltamivir Dosage Information

Here is some general information you should know about your oseltamivir dosage:
 
  • Your dosage can be taken at any time during the day. However, it should be taken at the same time each day to maintain an even level of the drug in your system.
     
  • Your dosage can be taken with or without food. If it bothers your stomach, try taking it with food.
     
  • Oseltamivir comes in either liquid or capsule form. If prescribed oseltamivir capsules, do not break, chew, or crush them. For oseltamivir suspension, make sure to shake it before each dose.
      
  • Make sure that you complete your entire prescription of oseltamivir, even if you start feeling better before it's finished. This will ensure that the infection is completely treated.
     
  • If you are unsure about anything related to oseltamivir or your oseltamivir dosage, talk to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist. Do not stop taking oseltamivir without first discussing it with your healthcare provider.
