- Taking an antiviral can help reduce the duration of flu and other viral illnesses by about one or two days.
- Taking antiviral medication soon after showing flu symptoms is important for people who are chronically ill or hospitalized.
- Antiviral medication can help reduce the risk of developing serious complications of the flu, such as pneumonia.
