Are there medicines to treat H1N1?
CDC recommends the use of oseltamivir (Tamiflu) or zanamivir (Relenza) for treatment and/or prevention of swine flu. Antiviral drugs are prescription medicines (pills, liquid or an inhaler) that keep flu viruses from reproducing, make your illness milder and make you feel better faster. They may also prevent serious flu complications. For treatment, antiviral drugs work best if started soon after getting sick (within 2 days of symptoms).
