Can tamiflu or relenza be normally bought in U.S. drugstores
I´m asking for people living in the U.S.
If you get sick with swine-flu-like symptons, go to a doctor, and he does prescribe you tamiflu for it,
is it possible for you to buy it normally in a drugstore or, did the government take the medicine out of drugstores and is the only possible source for it?
I´m asking because here in Brazil, the medicine was taken out of drugstores and I´d like to know how it works in the U.S.
No they can not, and to keep working against the popular myth (arising from unwarranted fear), Tamiflu is not a cure for the flu, nor can it save your life if you have a deadly case; . The drugs mainly being stockpiled function to hasten the course of the flu in one's system in order that one won't be contagious for as long, thus to prevent spreading and re-spreading (i.e. re-infection of populations by new strains) of the flu.
