I am considering buying some for my family, (maybe even a course or two of tamiflu) just to be on the safe side. Almost it feels that we are owed a large scale pandemic.

There is a lot of press out there saying that one is better than the other, i was just curious about amantidine and if anyone heard anything negative about this anti-viral? thanks for all replies, Lister joey 10-12-2005 @ 1:57 PM                           reply Member Joined: Oct 2005 tamiflu is more effective. I only say this because look at how much has been ordered by the US governemenr and literally every govenment in the world. These countries obviously ask their best doctors etc to consult them on such a decision and for so many to choose tamiflu indicates that this is the anti-viral of choice who has some reading this?
