Haven't seen anyone on it myself. :shrugs:

Side effects profile listed on the FDA's site doesn't look too bad.

Unless you have asthma, COPD, or other chronic respiratory issues.

Near as I can tell from the prescribing information, it treats the symptoms, but not necessarily the disease.

If you've had flu symptoms for more than two days, the prescribing info says not to bother taking it.

The insert also says that you experience one fewer day's worth of symptoms over placebo if you take this stuff.

Let's see ... risk of seizure and or bronchospasm vs. feeling miserable for 24 additional hours ...
