Seasonal flu is a contagious respiratory infection caused by different flu viruses. It’s important to understand flu symptoms so you can seek immediate treatment, especially if you have a chronic medical condition.
The earlier you recognize that you have the flu can also make a difference in how long it lasts. Prescription medications called antiviral drugs — Relenza and Tamiflu — are most effective when given within 48 hours of the onset of flu symptoms. These flu drugs are effective against the typical strains of seasonal flu. They can decrease the duration of the flu by one day if used within this early window. These antivirals may also provide benefit if given even after two days, especially in people who are very sick.
