Announcement Date: February 3, 2015
The Alberta College of Family Physicians (ACFP)’s Tools for Practice summarises the evidence (www.acfp.ca) so far:
Biased, poor quality, mostly unpublished evidence demonstrates that oseltamivir and zanamivir shorten the duration of
influenza symptoms by ~1/2 a day. Objectively defined pneumonia or hospitalizations are not decreased.
