Tamiflu

This link (#1) was posted by NVIC and came scrolling down my FB wall ... it's well done, not in the hyperventilating style of many. The writer makes some very important points about it's limitations, and concerns about access to data (or rather, that the data is not accessible, and thus it is difficult to analyze the quality, and reliability of the information we've been given about this drug);

What the writer left out, however, was information about side effects - the most frequent of which are similar to symptoms frequently seen with flu or ILI, Influenza-Like-Illness (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea); Also, less frequently there are more serious and significant side effects like nightmares or psychiatric changes - children seem to be more susceptible to this (see #2); The price ranges from $5 - $12/pills (#3);
