Is there any medicine I can take to protect myself from the swine flu virus?

Asked by Male, 43 ยท 2 months ago

The strongest defense against swine flu is immunization; there is no regular daily medication. Only after exposure or illness is oseltamivir (Tamiflu) taken,?self-use is not advised. Avoid close contact with sick people, wear masks in crowded areas, and wash your hands.
