Sample
If the swine flu outbreak became a pandemic, it would have a big impact on NHS services and our daily lives. The national framework includes making sure that the NHS is as prepared as it can be, and that treatment would reach people as soon as possible. It aims to protect the public by minimising disruption and the spread of the infection.
Antivirals
One of the ways to lessen the symptoms of pandemic flu is to treat infected people with antiviral medicines, which have been used against the current swine flu. The UK has stocks of these medicines and there is enough to treat up to half the population should they become ill during a pandemic, which is a reasonable worst-case scenario. However, the drugs must be administered at an early stage to be effective.
Testing has shown that the swine flu can be treated with the antiviral medicines oseltamavir (brand name Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza).
Antivirals will help to:
- reduce the length of time you are ill by around one day
- relieve some of the symptoms
- reduce the potential for serious complications such as pneumonia
Antivirals will not cure you, but they lessen the symptoms and help you to recover.
