Tamiflu Update

Tamiflu, a drug often prescribed to treat flu-like symptoms, is typically available in two forms - capsule or liquid form. The liquid form is generally prescribed to children and adults unable to swallow the capsule form. Liquid Tamiflu is currently in short supply due to a heavy flu season and heightened awareness of flu-like symptoms.

In response to the shortage of Tamiflu in liquid form, Beacon Prescriptions and Compounding Pharmacy has the knowledge and necessary equipment to compound Tamiflu into an oral suspension. The ability to compound Tamiflu for our patients is just one example of our continued commitment to the health and well-being of the entire family this flu season.

Please stop by or call us if we can be of assistance.
