Oseltamivir 30 mg, 45 mg, 75 mg Capsule, hard – patient leaflet, side effects, dosage

1. What Oseltamivir Capsule, hard is and what it is used for

• Oseltamivir Capsule, hard is used for adults,

  adolescents, children and infants (including full-term newborn babies) for treating flu (influenza). It can be used when you have flu symptoms, and the flu virus is known to be going round in your community.

• Oseltamivir Capsule, hard can also be

  prescribed for adults, adolescents, children and infants above 1 year of age for preventing flu, on a case-by-case basis – for instance, if you have been in contact with someone who has flu.

• Oseltamivir Capsule, hard may be prescribed

  for adults, adolescents, children and infants (including full-term newborn babies) as preventive treatment in exceptional circumstances – for example, if there is a global epidemic of flu (a flu pandemic) and the seasonal flu vaccine may not provide sufficient protection.

Oseltamivir Capsule, hard contains oseltamivir, which belongs to a group of medicines named neuraminidase inhibitors. These medicines prevent the flu virus from spreading inside the body. They help to ease or prevent the symptoms of the flu virus infection.

Influenza, usually called flu, is an infection caused by a virus. The signs of flu often include a sudden fever (more than 37.8°C), cough, runny or stuffy nose, headaches, muscle aches and extreme tiredness. These symptoms can also be caused by other infections. True influenza infection only occurs during annual outbreaks (epidemics) when flu viruses are spreading in the local community. Outside epidemic periods, flu-like symptoms are usually caused by a different type of illness.

Oseltamivir Capsule, hard is not a flu vaccine

  inflammation)

Information for the user

For people who find it hard to take capsules, including very young children, there’s a liquid medicine, oseltamivir powder for oral suspension. If you need a liquid medicine but it is not available, a suspension can be made up at the pharmacy from Oseltamivir Capsule, hard (see Information for healthcare professionals). This pharmacy preparation is the preferred option.

If the pharmacy preparation is not available either, you can make liquid Oseltamivir Capsule, hard from these capsules at home.

The dose is the same for treating or preventing flu. The difference is how often it is given.

Making liquid Oseltamivir Capsule, hard at home

• If you have the right capsule for the dose

  needed (a 30 mg or a 60 mg a 45 mg a 75 mg dose), you will open the capsule and stir its contents into one teaspoon (or less) of a suitable sweetened food product. This is usually suitable for children over 1 year. See the upper set of instructions.

• If you need smaller doses, making liquid

  Oseltamivir Capsule, hard from capsules involves extra steps. This is suitable for younger children and babies: they usually need a oseltamivir dose of less than 30 mg. See the lower set of instructions.

Children 1 to 12 years

Children 1 to 12 years

Adults, adolescents 13 years and over, and children weighing 40 kg and over

Step 1: Check the dose is correct

To find the correct amount to use, find the patient’s weight on the left of the table. Look at the right column to check the number of capsules you will need to give the patient for a single dose. The amount is the same whether treating or preventing flu.

30 mg dose

60 mg dose

You should use only 30 mg capsules for 30 mg and 60 mg doses. Do not try to make a 45 mg or 75 mg dose by using the contents of 30 mg capsules. Use the appropriate size capsule instead.

Step 2: Pour all the powder into a bowl

Hold a 30 mg capsule upright over a bowl and carefully snip off the rounded tip with scissors.

Pour all of the powder into the bowl. Open a second capsule for a 60 mg dose. Pour all of the powder into the bowl. Be careful with the powder, because it may irritate your skin and eyes.

Step 2: Pour all the powder into a bowl

Hold a 45 mg capsule upright over a bowl and carefully snip off the rounded tip with scissors.

Pour all of the powder into the bowl. Be careful with the powder, because it may irritate your skin and eyes.

Step 2: Pour all the powder into a bowl

Hold a 75 mg capsule upright over a bowl and carefully snip off the rounded tip with scissors.

Pour all of the powder into the bowl. Be careful with the powder, because it may irritate your skin and eyes.

Step 3: Sweeten the powder and give the dose

Add a small amount – no more than one teaspoonful – of sweet food to the powder in the bowl.

This is to hide the bitter taste of the Oseltamivir Capsule, hard powder.

Stir the mixture well.

Give the whole contents of the bowl to the patient straight away.

If there is some mixture left in the bowl, rinse the bowl with a small amount of water and get the patient to drink it all.

Repeat this procedure every time you need to give the medicine.

Infants less than 1 year

Infants less than 1 year

Infants less than 1 year, and children weighing less than 40 kg

To make a smaller single dose, you need:

• One 30 mg Oseltamivir Capsule, hard
• One 45 mg Oseltamivir Capsule, hard
• One 75 mg Oseltamivir Capsule, hard
• Sharp scissors

• Two small bowls (use separate pairs of

  bowls for each child)

• One large oral dose dispenser to

  measure out water – a 5 or 10 ml dispenser

• One small oral dose dispenser showing

  measurements of 0.1 ml, to give the dose

• Teaspoon (5 ml spoon)
• Water

• Sweet food to hide the bitter taste of the

  Oseltamivir Capsule, hard.

  Examples are: chocolate or cherry syrup and dessert toppings such as caramel or fudge sauce.

  Or you can make sugar water: mix a teaspoon of water with three-quarters (3/4) of a teaspoon of sugar.

Step 1: Pour all the powder into a bowl

Hold a 30 mg 45 mg 75 mg capsule upright over one of the bowls and carefully snip off the rounded tip with scissors. Be careful with the powder: it may irritate your skin and eyes. Pour all of the powder into the bowl, whatever the dose you are making.

The amount is the same whether you are treating or preventing flu.

Step 2: Add water to dilute the medicine

Use the larger dispenser

to draw up 5 ml 7.5 ml

12.5 ml water.

Add the water to the

powder in the bowl.

Stir the mixture with the

teaspoon for about 2

minutes.

Don’t worry if not all of the powder dissolves. The undissolved powder is just inactive ingredients.

Step 3: Choose the correct amount for your child’s weight

Look up the child’s weight on the left side of the table.

The column on the right of the table shows how much of the liquid mixture you will need to draw up.

Infants less than 1 year (including full-term newborn babies)

Step 4: Draw up the liquid mixture

Make sure you have the right size dispenser. Draw up the correct amount of liquid mixture from the first bowl.

Draw it up carefully so as not to include air bubbles.

Gently squirt the correct dose into the second bowl.

Step 5: Sweeten and give to the child

Add a small amount – no more than one teaspoonful – of a sweet food to the second bowl.

This is to hide the bitter taste of the Oseltamivir Capsule, hard.

Mix the sweet food and Oseltamivir Capsule, hard liquid well.

Give the whole contents of the second bowl (Oseltamivir Capsule, hard liquid mixture with sweet food added) to the child straight away.

If there is anything left in the second bowl, rinse the bowl with a small amount of water and get the child to drink it all. For children unable to drink from a bowl, spoon-feed or use a bottle to feed the child the remaining liquid.

Give the child something to drink.

Throw away any unused liquid left in the first bowl.

Repeat this procedure every time you need to give the medicine.

Information for healthcare professionals only

Patients who are unable to swallow capsules:

Commercially manufactured oseltamivir for oral suspension (6 mg/ml) is the preferred product for paediatric and adult patients who have difficulties swallowing capsules or where lower doses are needed. In the event that oseltamivir powder for oral suspension is not available, the pharmacist may compound a suspension (6 mg/ml) from Oseltamivir Capsule, hard. If the pharmacy compounded suspension is also not available, patients may prepare the suspension from capsules at home.

Oral dose dispensers (oral syringes) of appropriate volume and grading should be provided for administering the pharmacy compounded suspension, and for the procedures involved in the home preparation. In both cases, the correct volumes should preferably be marked on the dispensers. For home preparation, separate dispensers should be provided for taking the correct volume of water and for measuring the oseltamivir-water mixture. For measuring 5 ml 5 ml 12.5 ml of water, dispensers of 5 ml or 10 ml should be used.

The appropriate dispenser sizes for taking the correct volume of oseltamivir suspension (6 mg/ ml) are shown below.
