It was developed by US-based Gilead Sciences and is currently marketed by Hoffmann-La Roche (Roche) under the trade name Tamiflu.
Like zanamivir, oseltamivir is a neuraminidase inhibitor. It acts as a transition-state analogue inhibitor of influenza neuraminidase, preventing progeny virions from emerging from infected cells.

Why is the government shipping supplies of Tamiflu from it's stockpile to all of the states?
CDC: First Tamiflu Stockpile Shipments Arriving
Wednesday, April 29, 2009 12:10 PM
WASHINGTON -- The government says the first shipments of the drug Tamiflu from the federal stockpile arrived in New York state, New York City and Indiana Wednesday morning, and all states will get their share by Sunday.
As a precaution, the government has decided to ship to the states enough medication to treat 11 million people — just in case the new swine flu takes off.

The reason I ask is because the Tamiflu in the stockpile does NOT vaccinate against swine flu!
Swine Flu Vaccine Won't Be Ready Until September

WASHINGTON – A top U.S. health official told lawmakers that vaccines against seasonal flu likely to not protect against swine flu and that a vaccine against that deadly disease cannot be ready before September.

So why would there be such urgency to make sure that everyone had access to a vaccine that will NOT protect us from the threat?
I suggest two possible reasons.
First, It is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to sell Tamiflu. An odd coincidence given the prediction of an increase in sales of Tamiflu by some 500% for 2009. It might also make one wonder how this prediction was concluded if this outbreak is purely natural and there could have been no foreknowledge of the event. Unless there was foreknowledge and the jig is up a purposefully inflicted plague designed to depopulate And sell a product to which the only result is the further fleecing of the panicked masses with no effect on the virus.
Second, It could be even more sinister. There is an ingredient in the stockpiled Tamiflu that they want to inject us with. In this case the fleecing remains, but they would have the panicked masses lining up down the block for an injection that will NOT protect them from swine flu.
Again I ask. What is the purpose of rushing Tamiflu into the waiting hands of the states, surely to be quickly demanded by the frightened sheep, when Tamiflu will NOT vaccinate against swine flu??
Any other ideas?
Some people using oseltamivir have had rare side effects of sudden confusion, delirium, hallucinations, unusual behavior, or self-injury. These symptoms have occurred most often in children. It is not known whether oseltamivir was the exact cause of these symptoms. However, anyone using oseltamivir should be watched closely for signs of confusion or unusual behavior. Call a doctor at once if you or the child using oseltamivir has any of these symptoms.
I took it a while ago and the effects have been great with no side effects whatsoever.
