First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study tests whether taking the flu medicine oseltamivir (Tamiflu) for 5 days works just as well as taking it for 10 days to prevent the flu in hospital patients who have been exposed. About 200 adults with risk factors for flu complications will take part. If 5 days is enough, it could mean shorter treatment and fewer side effects.
