November 2023
Flu season will lead to questions about how to treat influenza.
For patients admitted with flu or suspected flu, start an antiviral ASAP...even if beyond 48 hours of symptom onset. There may still be benefit in hospitalized patients.
Stick with oseltamivir (Tamiflu) as your workhorse. It has the most data for inpatient use. Check kidney function before dosing.
