I work in a pharmacy in Tauranga. Today alone we've sold at least 50 face masks. We've had at least 7 queries about Tamiflu.

Tamiflu is prescription only until 1st May. Between 1st May and end of Sept it is a pharmacist only medication. So to get it you'd have to present to a pharmacy with flu symptoms and have a consultation with a pharmacist. Both on prescription and purchased from a pharmacist it costs around $80 per person.

myonlineself, its not recommended for pregnant women except if the benefits for the mother outweighs the risk to the fetus.    ]]> Wed, 29 Apr 2009 18:12:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26186&PID=674028&title=swine-flu-in-auckland#674028 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26186&PID=673506&title=swine-flu-in-auckland#673506 Author: caitlynsmygirl

The flu is normally a greater risk to the young & elderly, but the Swine Flu seams to be hitting the middle group. Just heard on the news that they say there are 60 cases in NZ, but with reporters who knows, & what degree are they.

Just to put another spin on it - half a million people die every year from the flu anyway -so the death rate in Mexico etc is not that unexpected in the flu season, if that makes sense?

ooh I definitely agree about not having it when pregnant if possible Marie - but at least it means that they can stop the spread through the majority of the population.

Hope you are ok. That would be stress you definitely don't need.

but the latest sounds like it might already have mutated -into a less viralent form - so that's all good ;-)

I don't think it would be a good idea to take Tamiflu while pregnant unless you really had to.]]> Mon, 27 Apr 2009 18:40:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26186&PID=672195&title=swine-flu-in-auckland#672195 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26186&PID=672194&title=swine-flu-in-auckland#672194 Author: myonlineself

I think there's certainly some risk but yes I think the media are very guilty of scaremongering at the moment.

It is worrying but at least currently it's responsive to drugs that we have on hand. But yay USA for already dishing out heaps of tamiflu - I bloody well hope that they were legitimate cases because all we need is for the strain to mutate ]]> Mon, 27 Apr 2009 18:26:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26186&PID=672185&title=swine-flu-in-auckland#672185 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26186&PID=672149&title=swine-flu-in-auckland#672149 Author: smurfette

I hope the press aren't scare-mongering, as there only seem to be deaths in Mexico from it so far, but it's not a good thing to have lurking around for us pregnant ladies.

I get everything going, which even without a new deadly flu is worrying enough when pregnant! I am downing the Vit C and trying to stay clear of sick people.
