A total of 1171 patients who participated in adult phase III controlled clinical trials for the treatment of influenza were treated with TAMIFLU. The most frequently reported adverse events in these studies were nausea and vomiting. These events were generally of mild to moderate degree and usually occurred on the first 2 days of administration. Less than 1% of subjects discontinued prematurely from clinical trials due to nausea and vomiting.

Adverse events that occurred with an incidence of 鈮?1% in 1440 patients taking placebo or TAMIFLU 75 mg twice daily in adult phase III treatment studies are shown in Table 3. This summary includes 945 healthy young adults and 495 鈥渁t risk鈥?patients (elderly patients and patients with chronic cardiac or respiratory disease). Those events reported numerically more frequently in patients taking TAMIFLU compared with placebo were nausea, vomiting, bronchitis, insomnia, and vertigo.

From reading the warnings/side effects, it sounds as though the stomach pain and he diarrhea is caused more from the flu than the medication. You can always stop taking the medication and speak with your doctor about it. The bugs that have been going around lately (flu, virus & colds) have been lasting/lingering around for several days to weeks for some people!

Hopefully yours will run its course quickly and you'll be back to new soon. Good luck & be well.
