I was wondering if others have tried to obtain Tamiflu lately--and if you were successful.
A month ago--I got a prescription for a 5-day supply for myself. I followed up with my doctor to request Rxs for my husband and children.
My doctor said, "The CDC is now advising doctors not to issue prescriptions for Tamiflu." She then went on to tell me that there is no bird flu in America.
I told her that I respected her opinion, but that I wanted the drug on hand--and I felt strongly that I wanted it for our entire family.
She still refused.
Anyone else have any experience (good or bad) attempting to get Tamiflu?
I had no problem a few weeks ago--getting that 5-day dose. The doctor tried to talk me out of it, but she obliged after I told her my opinion.
