Questions about medicine?!


Question: Questions about medicine?
I have the flu, and my doctor prescribed me Tamiflu. I hear Airborne can really help get over a flu. I took one capsul of Tamiflu, and want to take a tablet of Airborne now. Would it be safe to do? From a Doctors point of view, please? I don't want to have the wrong answer and die from taking 2 medicines haha.

Insert name here has a point - most the folks on here are under the age of twenty - 95% of them I wouldn't trust with how to alphabetize my cookbooks.

I wouldn't bother taking the Airborne - it's such a well known scam they were ordered to pay 23 million in fines.

Take the med the doc gave you, drink lots of fluids, rest a lot, stay bundled up within your comfort range, and get lots of sleep.

Feel better soon.

tamiflu is strong stuff.......
actually it was considered to be the drug of choice if the bird flu epidemic had hit, further is was feared to be in short supply, you have to take it soon after diagnosis to get quick and maximum relief,

airborne is an over the counter medicine, initially marketed for people who fly, thus the name airborne, the intent was to keep the nostrils moist so that airborne germs won't stick to the inside of your nose and then infect you----studies proved that drinking lots of water during a flight does the same thing.......

in short, mixing the two won't hurt you.......fluids and rest along with the tamiflu



Airborne is not a medicine it's just a supplement so it won't hurt you. It could be effective to prevent flu, but I doubt it helps you get over it.



why dont u just take the one ur doctor gave u and trust his judgement, instead of being a smartass?

or u could call him and ask, seeing as HES A DOCTOR AND WILL KNOW!!!!!
