Influenza Drugs

This section includes a PDF of the Physician Desk Reference write-up on each of the drugs listed in the Flu Treatment Kit in the book. The pharmaceutical company calls this document the drug’s “product circular” (PC). A good bit of research information is published in the PC along with potential and actual side effects of each drug and safety warnings. The use of these products for treatment of influenza and its complications in children and adults is provided in the Bird Flu Manual and will not be repeated here.
