Medicine Description epimiraflu 75mg
epimiraflu 75mg capsules is a medication that contains oseltamivir, a neuraminidase inhibitor. This antiviral agent works by interfering with the function of the viral neuraminidase enzyme, which is essential for the influenza virus's ability to replicate and spread within the respiratory tract. By inhibiting this enzyme, oseltamivir prevents the release of new viral particles from infected cells, thereby reducing the overall severity and duration of influenza symptoms and limiting the spread of the virus to other cells.
