My husband took this after coming home sick with the flu after probably catching it from our kid with the flu. It was two pills of XOFLUZA at once. The next day he barely had any flu symptoms. Fever gone, barely any congestion and a small cough. Pretty much FULLY recovered in two days. This med worked shockingly well for him. Meanwhile I have a child who didn't want to take pills so opted for...
I gave 3 stars overall because I was able to find a coupon to reduce the price to $30. I missed work for three days even though I took this. It didn't seem to really help, but I don't know how bad it would've been if I didn't take this medicine.

It did not work at all! Had a bad reaction. It backfired and I got bronchitis headaches nausea pharyngitis. All what was written that could happen did. I reported this yo the drug company. It cost me $160.00 and I wanted to ge my money back. I hv been sick for over 3 weeks and hv been told to expect 4-6 weeks. I hope it works for others because it did not for me.

Even though I had the flu shot I got the flu. Took Xofluza on Thursday and the next day I barely even had sinus drainage. Felt a little tired but let me say this stuff is a miracle drug. Would pay $250 for it compared to a regular case of the flu. Will be back at work on Monday. Zero side effects.

It mostly cleared my flu symptoms overnight. I gave me severe diarrhea every 30 minutes for 3 days straight. I eventually took an anti-diarrhea medication to counter the effects which did not fully stop it. I start sweating and cramping after only a few bites of food. Stay away from this stuff!

mid day Sunday afternoon I sneezed about 40 times. Sunday night felt a little tickle in my throat. Monday morning chills, aches, fever, congestion. HAD to go to work but went to urgent care 3pm Monday afternoon. Dr said 5 day tamiflu or xofluza for more money but one day dose so I went with xofluza. Took it around 6 Monday night. Slept until 6am and woke up like nothing even happened. The second you think you may have the flu go get tested and insist on this drug.

My 13 year old had flu and the dr gave us this option which was expensive or tamaflu for five days. I went for the one dose of expensive meds for fast results and she was up running around the next day like she was not even sick. It works well. It’s worth the money. I will always pick this if it happens again.

I took xofluza 36 hours after my flu symptoms began and my symptoms cleared up less than 7 hours of taking it! I swear I owe my symptoms going away to this drug! And I had very severe chills and was shaking uncontrollably, a headache like my brain was being torched, and achiness all over like I was hit by a bus. I have continued to rest even though I have no symptoms so that I do not relapse but I would definitely say Xofluza is effective!

Dangerous drug. Had 3 out of 5 stated adverse reactions - severe bronchitis, nasopharyngitis, and headaches. Additionally bronchitis was bacterial, not viral, which is an additional risk of taking drug. Wish I had just gotten flu, which would have been much better. Avoid at all costs.
