Influenza typically spreads from December to March each year. As of September, the number of influenza reports per sentinel site was 11.37. At this point, it has exceeded the epidemic alert level of 10.0 and is rapidly increasing. Further spread is expected through December, so sufficient caution is needed.

Vaccination is fundamentally important for influenza prevention. However, vaccines alone cannot provide complete protection. Anti-influenza drugs can suppress the growth of the virus regardless of the strain. Using them in combination with vaccines can prevent infection with higher certainty.
It is said that 70-80% of people can prevent influenza onset through preventive medication. The preventive effect lasts for about 7-10 days. Therefore, if you have exams or important plans, consider using it based on the effective period.
※For close contact cases, taking the medication within 48 hours of the last contact is effective.
The prescription is based on age, regardless of weight.
