What is Fluvir 75mg capsule?
Fluvir 75mg capsule is manufactured by Hetero. The active ingredient is Oseltamivir, given as a capsule you swallow. It belongs to a drug class called antivirals medicines that work against viruses, not bacteria. Doctors use fluvir 75mg capsule to treat and prevent influenza (flu) in adults and children old enough to take capsules.
Fluvir 75mg capsule treats flu you already have. It also helps prevent flu if you have been close to someone infected. It is often prescribed during flu season or local outbreaks, especially for people with heart disease, lung disease, or a weak immune system.
How Does Fluvir 75mg Capsule Fight the Virus?
The flu virus spreads inside your body by breaking out of infected cells and moving to new ones. It needs an enzyme called neuraminidase to do this. Oseltamivir blocks this enzyme. Without it, the virus gets stuck and cannot spread to healthy cells. This slows the infection down and gives your immune system time to clear it out. Starting treatment early, within the first day or two of symptoms, makes it work better.
