One of the most common side effects of Osteltamivir (Tamiflu) - seen in over one in ten treated - is nausea and vomiting, sometimes diarrhoea. Almost all cases of suspected swine flu since a couple of weeks ago would be treated with Tamiflu. A worrying fact is that the flu virus splits into separate strands inside the cell, and if another flu virus is present, they can swap strands, effectively recombining into totally new strains. There are already strains resistant to the Tamiflu in the wild.
