| What is novel H1N1 (swine flu)?Novel H1N1 (referred to as “swine flu” early on) is a new influenza virus causing illness in people. This new virus was first detected in people in the United States in April 2009. Other countries, including Mexico and Canada, have reported people sick with this new virus. This virus is spreading from person-to-person, probably in much the same way that regular seasonal influenza viruses spread. What are the signs and symptoms of this virus in people?The symptoms of novel H1N1 flu virus in people are similar to the symptoms of seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A significant number of people who have been infected with this virus also have reported diarrhea and vomiting. Also, like seasonal flu, severe illnesses and death has occurred as a result of illness associated with this virus. What are these medications used for?Treatment:Tamiflu can be used for treating people aged 1 year or older, who are infected with the human or avian influenza virus. Relenza can be used in those 5 years or older. These medications are only effective if they are started within 48 hours (2 days) of starting to feel unwell. The earlier they are started after the onset of symptoms, the more effective they are.Prevention:These medications can be used to prevent getting influenza in those who have been exposed to people who have recently become ill with influenza. Tamiflu can be used to prevent influenza in people aged 13 years and older, and Relenza can be used to prevent influenza in adults and children aged 5 years and older if the appropriate influenza vaccine is not available.
