Oseltamivir is an antiviral medication that inhibits influenza virus neuraminidase, thereby interfering with the release of progeny influenza virus from infected host cells. It is primarily used for the treatment and prophylaxis of influenza A and B. Oseltamivir is approved for clinical use and remains a standard therapy for seasonal influenza.
Pharmacokinetic parameters reported for healthy adult subjects (mixed sex, ages 18-65) after single oral dose administration of oseltamivir phosphate.
