Tamiflu is not safe for children?

The US Food and Drug Safety Agency raised concerns about the safety of using anti-Tamiflu drugs in children.

In a memorandum published on November 17, 2005, the agency said it had recorded 12 deaths in the past 13 months.

The US Food and Drug Safety Memorandum mentions 75 cases that make people worried about using tamiflu for children.

Of the 12 deaths, four cases of sudden death, one case of neurological disorders and some other cases of cardiopulmonary dysfunction.

There were also 32 other cases of neurological disorders, including hallucinations.

The report says there is not enough detailed information to evaluate the cause of the disease, but the cases are extremely unusual, causing further research.

So far, Tamiflu is the most important anti-virus in the fight against bird flu and the risk of outbreaks.

Roche is increasing the production of tamiflu to 300 million doses a day to meet world demand.

Avian influenza causes serious, unusual effects on young patients, and the risk of death in children is higher in adults.

Roche claims that the rate of death and mental disorders is not different between those taking Tamiflu and those with the flu.
