Tamiflu Drug Interactions

Tamiflu is used to both treat and prevent the flu. It is in a class of medications called neuraminidase inhibitors and helps shorten the duration of flu symptoms by stopping the spread of the flu virus in the body.

The prescribing information for Tamiflu states that the drug has a low likelihood of clinically significant drug interactions.

It only lists potential interactions with the live flu vaccine and a drug called probenecid (and even then states that this is likely not significant due to the overall safety of Tamiflu).

There is no known interaction between Tamiflu and most drugs you can take over the counter to help with flu symptoms.
