The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the use of anti-flu
medicine called “Tamiflu” for children between one and 12 years old as
a preventive medicine.
The Swiss manufacturing company Roche announced the FDA’s confirmation.
As a measure against the bird flu, high levels of Tamiflu stocks are
made in many countries. Tamiflu is known to be the most effective
medicine against the HN51 virus of the bird flu.
Roche had doubled the production of Tamiflu this year. |
