Liverwort Overview
Liverworts are diminutive non-vascular plants. These ancient organisms are part of the bryophyte group, which encompasses mosses and hornworts as well. Dating back to an astonishing 470 million years ago, liverworts hold the distinction of being some of the oldest plants to have thrived on Earth.
Zanamivir Overview
-
Zanamivir is used in adults and children at least 7 years of age to treat some types of influenza ('flu') in people who have had symptoms of the flu for less than 2 days. This medication is also used to prevent some types of flu in adults and children at least 5 years of age when they have spent time with someone who has the flu or when there is a flu outbreak. Zanamivir is in a class of medications called neuraminidase inhibitors. It works by stopping the growth and spread of the flu virus in your body. Zanamivir helps shorten the time you have flu symptoms such as nasal congestion, sore throat, cough, muscle aches, tiredness, weakness, headache, fever, and chills.
