Oscillococcinum30 DOSESClinical Studies on OscillococcinumOs cillococcinum has been shown in clinical trials to help reduce the severity and shorten the duration of
flu symptoms.1,2 Oscillococcinum works rapidly, with 63 percent of patients showing ?complete resolution" or "clear improvement? at 48 hours.*1 In a double-blind, placebo- controlled clinical trial, the recovery rate within 48 hours of treatment was significantly greater in the group that received the active drug than in the placebo group.?2Unlike other
flu medicines, Oscillococcinum does not cause side effects, such as drowsiness, and has no known or reported drug interactions. Oscillococcinum is regulated as a drug by the FDA3 and can be purchased at pharmacies, natural food stores and supermarkets. Make sure to keep Oscillococcinum on hand because it works best when taken early. Take Oscillococcinum at the first signs of
flu-like symptoms.Good Things to Do if You Get
Flu.1. Keep OscillococcinumĀ® readily available. Oscillococcinum (OscilloĀ®), one of the world's most popular natural
flu medicines, can reduce the duration and severity of
flu-like symptoms when taken at the onset of symptoms. Oscillo is regulated as a drug by the FDA1 and its use is supported by published clinical studies, as well as more than 65 years of worldwide use. Plus, unlike other
flu medicines, Oscillo works without causing side effects, does not interfere with other medications, and is safe for both children (older than 2 years of age) and adults.2. Stay hydrated.When you are feeling under the weather, drinking extra fluids prevents dehydration caused by fever, loosens mucus and keeps your throat moist. Warm liquids are preferable, and there is some evidence that inhaling steam early in the course of a cold or
flu may reduce the spread of viruses in your upper respiratory tract.3. Listen to your body.If you do come down with a cold or
flu, take it easy. Spending excessive energy steals valuable resources from your immune system. Even attempting to perform normal activities at work or school may be too much. Besides, if you believe you're coming down with
flu, probably the best thing you can do for friends and family is to not expose them unnecessarily to the virus.4. Be careful with
medicines. Children should not take any
medicines containing aspirin while they have
flu. If you take over-the-counter (OTC) cold or
flu preparations, make certain that you're not overdosing. For example, many decongestant OTC
medicines offer "all-in-one" relief; that is, they may contain fever and pain reducers. If you are also taking acetaminophen or ibuprofen separately, you may inadvertently be ingesting too much of these compounds.5. Seek help if you get worse. If your symptoms become significantly worse after the first 3 days of illness, especially if your fever subsides and then returns, be sure to seek medical attention right away. The reason that
flu is considered a potentially dangerous infection is that it leaves the body vulnerable to other infections like pneumonia.<font face="Arial"
