Or, for a fraction of the cost (particularly important since your
doctor did not apparently think you had influenza, although based
on your story I'm not sure why not), you could have taken amantadine,
which has been around for about 40 years and also works well against
influenza A (the strain that is currently causing most of the problems).


But is not, formally at least, approved for prophylaxis as Tamiflu is,
but I completely agree

Tamiflu 5 days $70
Amantidine 5 days $1.60

(wholesale of course)
