  • Title: [The threatening influenza pandemic: a national store ofoseltamivir is a waste of money].
    Author: Bonneux L.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 2005 Jul 16; 149(29):1619. PubMed ID: 16078769.
    Abstract:
    In the treatment of confirmed influenza, neuraminidase inhibitors yield only a limited reduction in the duration of disease and are neither efficacious nor cost-effective. Neuraminidase inhibitors would be cost-effective if a deadly influenza virus that is highly sensitive to oseltamivir causes a pandemic soon. If not, then the money invested in establishing a store of oseltamivir is wasted and lost to the health-care sector.
