Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including http://www.fda.gov/downloads/drugs/drugsafety/informationbydrugclass/ucm147992.pdf

Oseltamivir phosphate is an ethyl ester prodrug requiring ester hydrolysis for conversion to the active form, oseltamivir carboxylate. Oseltamivir carboxylate is an inhibitor of influenza virus neuraminidase affecting release of viral particles. Oseltamivir is a well tolerated orally active neuraminidase inhibitor which significantly reduces the duration of symptomatic illness and hastens the return to normal levels of activity when initiated promptly in patients with naturally acquired influenza.

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: CNS penetration of oseltamivir and oseltamivir carboxylate is low in Japanese and Caucasian adults. Emerging data support the idea that oseltamivir and oseltamivir carboxylate have limited potential to induce or exacerbate CNS adverse events in individuals with influenza.

Originator

Curator's Comment: Oseltamivir was invented and patented by Californian company Gilead Sciences in 1996. Swiss pharmaceutical company Hoffmann-La Roche (Roche) then purchased the rights to develop and market the drug worldwide under the trade name Tamiflu.

Sample Use Guides

The recommended oral dose of TAMIFLU (oseltamivir phosphate) for treatment of influenza in adults and adolescents 13 years and older is 75 mg twice daily for 5 days. Treatment should begin within 2 days of onset of symptoms of influenza.
Route of Administration: Oral
Oseltamivir also showed moderate antiviral activity in Madine-Darby canine kidney cells of about 83% against influenza A/HK (H3N2) virus at the concentration of 100 μg/ml.
