Poor British Girl

Straight Arrow
By Straight Arrow

I read last Friday that a British girl between 16 and 14 years old got blind after taking the tamiflu for H1N1, she took three tablets and felt bad after that and at the end she was not able to see.
So be careful guys from the side effect of any medicine you take always ask the doctor and read the instruction with any medicine you buy from the pharmecy.
I repeat my opinion I think the H1N1 is created for some commercial reasons to resolve the economic crisis in 2008 / 2009.

people should go and see a doctor for any medicines and should never take them straight from the counter . Some people have medical history or they might have allergy to some contents of the medicine .so be carefull

moral of the story - go to a doc and get the prescription.

The worse has happened when a friend of mine has given an injection to his daughter cos she was injured, just protection, unfortunately the pharmacist gave him the wrong injection, the poor dad by his hand killed his 12 years old daughter, till now he is broken, that was 5 or 6 years ago,

really as pals above wrote, we have to deal with medicine carefully,

A friend in need, is A friend indeed!

All medicines must be taken under strict supervision.

Sometimes it helps to see a doctor personally than take advice over the phone.

Straight, any medicine can be dangerous, even panadol... Tamiflu is a normal antiviral...

You're right. Medicines should only be taken after clear instructions from the physician.
