Tamiflu is an antiviral drug and is the supposed to be the best defense against avian flu or bird flu. But World Health Organization (WHO) has recently called for studies on Tamiflu to check its effectiveness in combating bird flu. United States will be bringing out a study on Tamiflu later this year. Some of the countries around the world have banned the over the counter sale of Tamiflu. It is only strictly used in suspected cases in these countries. Health workers also use it to prevent the disease.

But there are several sites that are selling Tamiflu online and are registering record sales. The fear of people is cleverly used by some of these sites to bring in some hot cash. With bird flu being reported in different parts of the world, some these websites are very active and are sending millions of emails.

With such conflicting reports coming out, one should be very careful while buying Tamiflu online. There is no clinical trial evidence that shows Tamiflu is effective against bird flu. The drug is believed to have secondary fatal consequences for children. It is also believed to have severe side effect including psychiatric problems. It is wise to take the advice of a physician before opting for Tamiflu.
