Description:

Oltavir 75mg Capsule is an antiviral medicine used to treat and prevent influenza (flu) as well as swine flu (H1N1 virus). It helps to relieve the symptoms of the flu virus infection, like a stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, cough, body aches, tiredness, headache, fever, and chills.

Oltavir 75mg Capsule prevents the flu virus from spreading inside the body. Take it in the exact dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, although taking it with food can reduce the chance of feeling or being sick (nausea or vomiting).
