Tamiflu can cause side effects. The most common Tamiflu side effects are nausea, vomiting and stomach ache. These side effects mostly occur only after the first dose of the medicine and will usually stop as treatment continues. The frequency of these effects is reduced if the medicinal product is taken with food. Less commonly skin reactions and mild to severe liver function disorders have been very rarely reported. Convulsions, depressed level of consciousness, abnormal behaviour, hallucinations and delirium have also been reported during tamiflu administration, leading in rare cases to accidental injury. Patients, especially children and adolescents, should be closely monitored and their healthcare professional should be contacted immediately if the patient shows any signs of unusual behaviour.
You should consult the full list of side effects for Tamiflu on the patient information leaflet provided with your treatment. Details of this can also be found here.
