There has been
much talk about Tamiflu and the possibility that it can curb the
reproduction of the H5N1 virus. Tamiflu works by inhibiting an
enzyme called neuraminidase (aka sialidase). This enzyme is used by
many virus particles to attach to cells and invade them. When a
neuraminidase inhibitor like Tamiflu is administered, it can reduce
the spread of Type A influenza in the population. It can also
shorten the duration and intensity of Type A influenza if
administered in the first 48 hours after symptoms appear (it
typically reduces a 5-7 day influenza episode by 1 to 2 days). |
