Swine Flu Spreading, Gaining Worldwide Attention; Tamiflu In Demand from Access.RX.com
As if there weren’t enough to worry about with the many strains of influenza that are floating around, there is now the problem of people beginning to contract a strain of the flu that was once only attainable through animal-to-human contact. It’s the swine flu.
The classical swine flu virus (an influenza type A H1N1 virus) was first isolated from a pig in 1930, and has typically been a strain passed among pigs. On rare occasion, a person who had close contact with hogs was known to come down with it. But cases of the virus being passed from person to person were almost completely unheard of. Now, in the past couple weeks, scores of people have inexplicably come down with the swine flu in the
The swine flu can hopefully be avoided by such things as frequent hand-washing, wearing a dust mask in high-risk areas such as hospitals, and avoiding people who are known to be infected. To provide relief from the swine flu, as well as other strains of the flu, Tamiflu is recommended, not just by doctors or other users of the drug, but even by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC recommends use of Tamiflu (ingredient name oseltamivir) for both prevention and treatment of swine flu symptoms that can include fever, lethargy, lack of appetite, coughing, runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Tamiflu is available by mail order through longtime trusted online pharmacy AccessRX.com.
Rich Bernstein is the Internet Marketing Director for AccessRX.com. He said that many of the company’s mail-order customers are expressing an interest in the availability of Tamiflu online ( http://www.accessrx.com/tamiflu.htm).
“We’ve had a tremendous number of phone calls and inquiries lately about how Tamiflu can help prevent the flu in general, and now the swine flu in particular,” Bernstein said. “Our loyal AccessRX.com customers are checking with us, making sure we have enough Tamiflu in stock to allow them to order if they should decide they need it.”
Tamiflu has long been heralded as a groundbreaking medication that relieves and even prevents flu symptoms. Now, with the threat of a worldwide pandemic in the headlines, Access.RX.com is ready to help.

We’re in the business of providing quality pharmaceuticals that help improve the lives of our customers, and Tamiflu is one of those products.
