As the government continues to prepare a vaccine for H1N1/Swine Flu, the virus is expected to continue spreading during the summer and into the fall, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
Although a specific date for the fall release of the H1N1 vaccine is not available, consumers can ensure they have a treatment in hand if their family members contract the virus. AccessRx.com has Tamiflu in stock, and it can arrive the next day if ordered by 2 p.m. EST. Tamiflu is one of only two medications that are effective in treating the H1N1 virus, according to the CDC.
CDC reported last week that the number of H1N1/Swine Flu-related hospitalizations had eclipsed 7,500 in the U.S., and the number of Americans who have died from H1N1/Swine Flu complications has climbed to more than 475. The CDC says the possibility exists that the H1N1 vaccine may be available in only limited quantities at first.
“We receive orders every day from consumers who simply want to have peace of mind as flu season gets closer,” said Rich Bernstein, marketing director for AccessRx.com. “The CDC indicates that any vaccine will not be ready until October at the earliest. Consumers should also know that Tamiflu is an effective treatment for a very high percentage of flu strains besides H1N1.”
Patients who order Tamiflu online at AccessRx.com do not need to have a prescription in-hand. They are required, however, to provide their health information and medical history so that a U.S.-licensed doctor can consider writing a prescription. Consumers can also place an order by calling 1-800-467-0297. Doctors recommend that patients should not take Tamiflu until flu symptoms are present, or otherwise a flu strain can become resistant to the medication.
AccessRx.com’s U.S.-licensed doctors and pharmacists have served more than 250,000 satisfied customers over the course of a decade. Based in the U.S., the online pharmacy provides only FDA-approved, brand-name medications that can often be shipped the same day.
The World Health Organization (WHO) in June raised the pandemic alert level to its highest phase (6) for H1N1. In July, delegations from 54 U.S. states, tribes and territories attended the H1N1 Influenza Preparedness Summit at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md. The Obama administration pledged $350 million to help U.S. communities prepare for a more serious outbreak of H1N1.
Tamiflu is also referred to as oseltamivir, the name of the actual drug. The CDC website states that Tamiflu is effective for the treatment of H1N1 and its symptoms. These can include runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, lethargy, lack of appetite and coughing.
