Alternative Flu Treatments in the US Beyond Tamiflu

While Tamiflu remains a common flu treatment, alternatives like Xofluza, Relenza, and Rapivab are available, each with different benefits, side effects, and considerations such as cost and resistance. Xofluza, a single-dose pill approved for ages 5 and older, is gaining popularity due to fewer side effects and quicker viral shedding reduction, but concerns about resistance and availability may influence treatment choices.
