hi everybody,

Just recovered from one a few days back.. It makes one very sick and dull but of course we have nothing much to do..oh this was much more than flu, it was influenza.. very serious too .. What my doctor said was it was type A virus..

he gave me amantadine which did control my flu. The dosage was 200 mg daily or into 2 divided doses.
more information on amantadine can be found at http://drugdelivery.ca/s3855-s-SYMMETREL.aspx
