FDA Alert: Dosing Errors with Tamiflu | NH Med Mal Attorney
Posted on Oct 29, 2009
With the number of swine flu cases rising everyday doctors are turning to Tamiflu, a prescription medication used to treat influenza, to shorten illness. In the past the drug had been approved for use in adults and children over one year. Those who were pregnant or nursing along with infants under 12 months were advised not to take the drug. However, in April 2009 the CDC approved Tamiflu for infants and pregnant or nursing mothers.
The danger of H1N1 for young children has prompted more widespread use of Tamiflu. This increase has, unfortunately, lead to dosing errors. The errors have been occurring with the liquid form of the drug and therefore have been primarily affecting children.
The errors have prompted the FDA to issue the following guidelines. Please CLICK HERE to visit the official FDA website concerning the dosing errors.
- Dosing should be prescribed in mg. This is important as the dosing errors have occurred over confusion between dosing instructions and the dosing dispenser.
- Check to ensure that the dosing instructions match the dosing dispenser.
- If the dose is in tsp ask your pharmacist to convert the volume and make sure that the dosing device matches the dose.
- If you have ANY questions or concerns consult your doctor and the pharmacist.
