TAMIFLU [Oseltamivir]
There are side effects of this drug but none appear to be specific to Diabetics according to the BNF.
However there does appear to be some other evidence that it may be linked to aggravation of Diabetes. I am still looking for valid information regarding this ?
The known side-effects are:
nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhoea; headache; conjunctivitis; less commonly rash; also reported, hepatitis, arrhythmias, neuropsychiatric disorders (in children and adolescents), visual disturbances, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and toxic epidermal necrolysis.
There are cautions and contra-indications for the following groups.
Cautions: Those suffering renal impairment, who are pregnant. Breast-feeding mothers.
