CanAmerica Drugs is Your Source of Protection from H1N1 and other Flu Viruses

Undoubtedly you have heard all about the latest deadly strain of flu now referred to as "Influenza A H1N1" (formerly known as "Swine Flu"). Virulent and deadly, and not yet fully understood, H1N1 has achieved global "pandemic" status and may turn out to be the worst strain yet.

If you are looking for flu tips, specifically how to protect yourself from H1N1, a number of specialized medicines are available from www.canamericadrugs.com.

Antiviral drugs like Roche's Tamiflu and Relenza (which is made by GlaxoSmithKline) may be just what the doctor ordered to fight this fierce flu.

"Both of these drugs are effective when it comes to H1N1, especially if used in the first 48 hours of symptoms appearing," said Adelaine Saria, a pharmacist licensed in Manitoba.

These drugs may reduce the symptoms and duration of the illness, just as they do for seasonal influenza. They also may help limit the severity of the illness and even prevent death.

If you do get sick, antiviral drugs can make your illness milder and make you feel better faster. They may also prevent serious influenza complications.

Antiviral drugs also can also be used to prevent the flu when they are given to a person who is not ill, but who may have been exposed to a person with H1N1. When used to prevent the flu, antiviral drugs are quite effective.

"Typically the drugs are used for treatment, but they can be used as a preventative as well," said Saria.

These medications are available to anyone with a prescription.

Be advised that, given the international nature of the practice of International Prescription Services (IPS) pharmacy, there may be limitations in the ability of the Manitoba Pharmaceutical Association (MPhA), which is the statutory licensing authority for pharmacies and pharmacists in the Province of Manitoba, to investigate and prosecute complaints from persons who receive services or products from an IPS pharmacy.

Manitoba pharmacists are not permitted to fill US physicians' prescriptions. They can only fill prescriptions issued by a physician licensed in a province or territory of Canada. MPhA takes the position that it may be contrary to professional standards for a pharmacist to fill prescriptions by a physician, licensed in a province or territory of Canada, who has not established an acceptable patient physician relationship with you.
