yep not after 4-5 days but within that period ryt? unsa may naka misinterpret naku ato nga clear man kaau to nga naa patient nga naka benefits sa medicine even after 48hrs period... i think u didn't even dig in to that article, coz u think dat u know it already.. if uv been w/ best doctors, the people in cdc are experts anyway, there's nothing to argue i was just stating based on facts and data gathered by them..

Ka klaro ana ah nga na misinterpret nimo, ang imong nabasahan adto "duration of treatment" nga 5 days, unya ang pagsabot dayon nimo, start of treatment. I-copy paste kuno dire beh, asa didto sa article nga gi SPECIFY sa CDC kung unsa nga days AFTER 48 hours, after 3 days? after 4 days? after 5 days?

Do you know what a patient package insert is? Naa didto nakabutang, klaro kaayo, ang manufacturer na mismo ming butang didto, must be started within 1-2 days in the case of Tamiflu, and 1-1.5 days in the case of Relenza. Basaha dayon ang PDR, Facts & Comparisons, Drug Information Handbook, Merck Manual. Wala pa ka na kuntento sa ka reliable ana nila?

Dili lang gyud ka moangkon nga nasayop ka'g sabot sa meaning sa DURATION. Ayaw pataka taka ug post unya kung correctionan ka, ngita dayon ka reliable source. If you ask anyone in the medical/healthcare community, STANDARD knowledge na intawon na kaayo oi. Mao pa imong pagka encounter sa word nga Tamiflu ug Relenza, wala man gani ka kahibaw unsa'y MOA of action ana nila, dayon basa ka's CDC article, gisayop nimo'g sabot, unya kung sultihan ka'g tarong, moingon dayon ka nga pataka taka unya wala'y reliable source?

Basaha ni'g suway oh, focus on the Clinical Pharmacology and the Dosage & Administration, ok?

Tamiflu Official FDA information, side effects and uses.

Relenza Official FDA information, side effects and uses.

Basaha na'g tarong ha, ayaw pataka taka ug post anang imong within 4-5 days.

[Dorothea]

oh really? how did you know that?.. do you have a reliable source?...according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention... within 4-5 days of illness

I just wanted to remind you nga kani imong reply nako when I said, "these meds MUST BE STARTED within 1-2 days", in which you replied, oh really? accdg to CDC, within 4-5 days. Never in that article was it mentioned specifically STARTED within 4-5 days. However, it was mentioned that DURATION of treatment is 5 days, which is the STANDARD regimen. That is COMMON knowledge in the medical/healthcare community.

PS. I read all the related info at the CDC website, wala gyu'd koy nakit-an didto nga matud nimo, accdg to the CDC, WITHIN 4-5 days of illness. Hatagi ko'g link beh nga nakasuwat gyud nang words nga: WITHIN 4-5 DAYS OF ILLNESS. Kanang naa gyud nakabutang nga 4-5 days ha! Makit-an gani na nako sa imong ihatag nga CDC website link, hatagan tika'g singko pesos. LOL

@rommel: naa bro.. Are there any medications against Swine Flu?
Yes. Only Tamiflu and Relenza are effective against Swine Flu and must be given early, within 4-5 days of illness.

I am quoting you again, in case you forgot what you typed. Accdg to you, MUST BE GIVEN EARLY, within 4-5 days of illness. Pakit-a kuno ko sa CDC article beh, nga gi klaro gyud ug gi specify gyud nga within 4-5 days.

Klaro na kaayo nga nasayop ka kay wala nimo taronga sabot ang article, you pass erroneous 2nd-hand info, dili lang gihapon ka moangkon. Reliable btaw nang CDC, pero dili reliable imong pagsabot sa imong gibasa.

GENEVA – The World Health Organization announced Thursday it will would stop using the term "swine flu" to avoid confusion over the danger posed by pigs. The policy shift came a day after Egypt began slaughtering thousands of pigs in a misguided effort to prevent swine flu.

WHO spokesman Dick Thompson said the agriculture industry and the U.N. food agency had expressed concerns that the term "swine flu" was misleading consumers and needlessly causing countries to ban pork products and order the slaughter of pigs.

"Rather than calling this swine flu ... we're going to stick with the technical scientific name H1N1 influenza A," Thompson said.

The swine flu virus originated in pigs, and has genes from human, bird and pig viruses. Scientists don't know exactly how it jumped to humans. In the current outbreak, WHO says the virus is being spread from human to human, not from contact with infected pigs.

Egypt began slaughtering its roughly 300,000 pigs Wednesday even though experts said swine flu is not linked to pigs and not spread by eating pork. Angry farmers protested the government decree.

In Paris, the World Organization for Animal Health said Thursday "there is no evidence of infection in pigs, nor of humans acquiring infection directly from pigs."

Killing pigs "will not help to guard against public or animal health risks" presented by the virus and "is inappropriate," the group said in a statement.

China, Russia, Ukraine and other nations have banned pork exports from Mexico and parts of the United States, blaming swine flu fears.

Most in the Muslim world consider pigs unclean animals and do not eat pork because of religious restrictions. The farmers in Egypt raise the pigs for consumption by the country's Christian minority.

WHO also reported the number of confirmed swine flu cases rose to 257 worldwide Thursday, with cases in Mexico rising to 97 from 26, with seven deaths. The WHO confirmed tally from the United States now stands at 109, with one death.

Other confirmed cases include 34 in Canada, 13 in Spain, eight in Britain, three each in Germany and New Zealand, two in Israel and one each in Austria, Switzerland and the Netherlands.

WHO raised the pandemic flu alert to phase 5 on Wednesday, one step away from the highest level indicating a global outbreak. WHO flu chief Keiji Fukuda said Thursday there were no indications in the past day that would prompt the U.N. body to raise the alert further.

To move from pandemic alert level 5 to level 6 means that WHO believes there is evidence of big outbreaks in at least two world regions and a pandemic is under way.

Fukuda said the jump in confirmed cases from Mexico was probably the result of scientists working their way through a backlog of untested samples from suspected cases.

"They are going through several thousands of laboratory specimens right now," he said.

WHO has started distributing its stockpile of 2 million treatments of the antiviral drug Tamiflu to regional offices, which will decide where to send them next.

Many of those drugs will go to developing countries that don't have stockpiles of their own and some will be sent to Mexico, Fukuda said, without providing figures.
